How to find your model number

Check your model number before you buy a replacement for the 731-08171. On a snow blower the model and serial label is usually on the back of the frame, below the handles, or on the auger housing.

  • Briggs & Stratton engines: the model, type and code numbers are usually stamped on the engine shroud or on a sticker on the blower housing.
  • Kohler engines: a label with the model, specification and serial numbers is usually on the blower housing.
  • Honda engines: the engine type (for example GCV160) is usually cast or printed on the engine block, with the serial number nearby.
