The Troy-Bilt 2620 is a robust two-stage snowblower designed to handle heavy snowfall with ease. It features a powerful engine and a durable auger system that can throw snow up to 30 feet. However, like any mechanical device, its belts can wear out over time, requiring replacement to maintain optimal performance.
Before starting the replacement process, ensure you have the following tools:
- Ratchet and extension
- 3/8 inch socket
- Adjustable wrench
- 9/16 inch wrench
- Replacement auger belt (e.g., 954-04050A)
The first step is to remove the belt cover. This cover is secured by two bolts, one on each side, which require a 3/8 inch socket to remove.
Once the cover is off, you will see two belts: the auger belt in the front and the drive belt in the back. To access the auger belt, you may need to remove the belly pan, which is best done with the snowblower tipped up. Ensure the gas tank is not full before tipping the machine.
To remove the old belt, you may need to press down the drive lever or the auger lever to create space. Start by pulling the belt off the top pulley and then carefully weave it out from the bottom pulley.
Installing the new belt is a bit more challenging. Press down the drive lever to create more space between the pulleys. Feed the new belt onto the bottom pulley first, then pull it around the idler pulley and finally over the engine pulley.
After the new belt is in place, reinstall the belt retention bolt, the belly pan, and finally the belt cover. Ensure all bolts are securely tightened.
Regular maintenance is crucial to extend the life of your snowblower. Here are some tips:
- Clean the drivewheel: Use a spray degreaser to remove grime and ensure smooth operation.
- Inspect belts regularly: Check for cracks or wear and replace them as needed.
- Store properly: Keep your snowblower in a dry place during the off-season.
- Check the auger blades: Ensure they are not damaged or bent. Replace them if necessary.
- Lubricate moving parts: Regularly grease the gears and shafts to prevent rust and wear.
- Check the chute: Ensure it is clear of debris and ice to maintain proper snow flow.
Sometimes, your snowblower may not perform as expected. Here are some common issues and solutions:
- Auger not turning: Check if the auger belt is broken or loose. Ensure the auger lever is engaged properly.
- Snow not being thrown far: Check if the chute is clogged or if the auger belt is worn out.
- Engine not starting: Check the spark plug, fuel level, and ensure the choke is in the correct position.
When working on your snowblower, always follow these safety guidelines:
- Disconnect the spark plug: Before starting any maintenance to prevent accidental starts.
- Wear protective gear: Use gloves and safety glasses to protect yourself from sharp edges and debris.
- Ensure proper ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes.
For those who want to go beyond basic maintenance, here are some advanced techniques:
Performing an oil change is essential for maintaining your snowblower's engine health. Use the correct type of oil recommended by the manufacturer and ensure the oil level is at the recommended height.
Greasing moving parts such as gears and shafts is crucial to prevent rust and wear. Use a heavy-duty grease and apply it sparingly to avoid over-greasing, which can lead to slipping issues.
Proper tension is key for the auger belt. If the belt is too loose, it may slip off the pulleys, while too much tension can cause premature wear. Adjust the tension by loosening or tightening the tensioner pulley. Ensure the belt is not too tight or too loose when the auger lever is engaged.
Before storing your snowblower for the off-season, ensure you complete the following tasks:
- Clean the exterior: Use a pressure washer and degreaser to remove dirt and grime.
- Drain the fuel: If you won't be using the snowblower for several months, consider draining the fuel tank to prevent stale fuel.
- Lubricate moving parts: Apply grease to gears and shafts to prevent rust.
- Store in a dry place: Keep your snowblower away from moisture to prevent rust and corrosion.
Replacing the auger drive belt on your Troy-Bilt 2620 snowblower is a manageable DIY task. By following these steps and maintaining your equipment regularly, you can ensure your snowblower performs optimally during the winter months.

To access the auger belt, remove the belt cover and possibly the belly pan, depending on your model.
1. Press down the drive lever to create space.
2. Feed the belt onto the bottom pulley.
3. Pull it around the idler pulley.
4. Finally, pull it over the engine pulley.
Inspect your belts before each use and replace them if you notice any signs of wear or cracking.
Common issues include cracking, breaking, or slipping off the pulleys due to wear or improper tension.
