Noma Snow Thrower

Snowthrower Paddle Set NOMA/302565 Discounted

Product worked perfectly to replace worn paddles on a 2002 Murray 21″ 4.5HP single stage snow blower. All holes lined up just fine. All you have to do is get thirty 3/4″ long X 5/16″ bolts with nuts (locking type best) along with some loc-tite. Just drill out the rivets (1/4 drill bit works best) then widen the hole to 5/16″ with a 5/16″ drill to accomodate the bolts. Put on the paddles and you are good to go. Fast shipping from this company and product was as described and the best price I could find.

Ironically, this blade set also fits pretty well on a 22″ Craftsman snow thrower (made by Murray, now bought out by Briggs & Stratton). I searched all over for replacement blades for the 22″ Craftsman and all I can find is the complete auger assembly for 0 or more. The center paddles are about an inch narrower than the original ones, but I don’t think it will be a problem. All the holes lined up perfectly. Again, this review concerns attaching these blades to a Craftsman snow thrower, model 536.881501. I can’t comment on their intended application, but I can say this: The Amazon price is way better than any other I found online.

September 2005 I purchased a Craftsman 22″ snowblower. After 4 years with the warranty expired my auger assembly was worn down to the steel frame. I obtained 2 estimates on replacing the auger assembly, both of them were approximately 5.00. I obtained one estimate on replacing the worn out paddle set on the auger which was 5.00. I was frustrated because the snowblower is in good shape. The people who gave me the estimates were (I believe) more interested in selling me a new snowblower than repairing the old one. After a series of searches on the internet I was able to find the paddle set that fit my snowblower. My total cost in obtaining the paddle set and purchasing replacement hardware (s.s. bolts and locking washers) came to about .00. I replaced the 1/4″ rivets with 1/4″ stainless steel bolts and locking washers. I also had to raise the snowblower frame by approximately 3/8″ because the frame support was worn.
