Arnold 490-241-0010 Universal Deluxe Poly Slide Shoes For Most 2 Stage Snow Throwers

 (18 customer reviews)

I recently purchased these snowblower skids for a 25+ year old Craftsman that was starting to show it's age. The original skids, when brand new, were nothing more than your typical bent chunk O metal about 3 inches long that rode along the ground getting caught on anything that wasn't completely smooth. In fact, they were getting so bad that they would catch and grab on even smooth blacktop. I had always wondered "why don't they make something better for these things?". In a nutshell, original snowblower skids kinda suck, right from the get-go.

So I recently stumbled upon these universal replacement shoes and despite the frightening price of them, decided to take a chance.

Wow.

Let me go on record by saying that if I were to buy a brand new snowblower tomorrow, I would buy these shoes for it, and take the original ones and heave them somewhere into the dark, cobwebby recesses of my garage. Via con dios, poorly designed crap.

I have a Troy-Bilt 24" and a Craftsman 48" two stage snow thrower, both a couple years old. I have to replace the steel shoes after a couple seasons and the steel ones can leave scrape marks on the driveway & deck and rust spots on the garage floor.

This is especially disappointing & frustrating because Troy-Bilt and Arnold are from the MTD family. You would think that their own accessories would fit their own brand. Plus so many brands don't manufacture anything. They just resell the same items from the same factory with just a...Read more

I purchase a set of these for my (out of production) snow blower at the beginning of the season. The instructions were easy to follow and the shoes were easily adjustable to the height I needed. This was important to me as I have a gravel driveway. Although I gave them only minimal use this year, because they are reversible, I believe they will most likely outlast the machine.

When my step father needed to replace his skid shoes late in the season, I didn't give a second thought to recommending and ordering these.

I took the free shipping and they arrived in 4 days from the order date.
