The Honda 42961-V45-A00 Height Adjusting Lever is a genuine OEM component designed for HSS1332, HSS724, and HSS928 two-stage snow blowers. As a direct Honda OEM replacement, this lever is manufactured to the same specifications as the original part that left the factory, ensuring correct function without any guesswork on fit or form. Honda supersedes parts at serial number breaks, so verify your machine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to confirm this is the correct lever for your unit.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this lever matches the original component in every dimension, so it installs and operates exactly as intended on your snow blower.
- Correct Engagement — the Height Adjusting Lever is engineered to index precisely through its detent positions, giving the operator clean, repeatable control over skid shoe height during a clearing pass.
- Broad HSS Compatibility — fits HSS1332, HSS724, and HSS928 two-stage snow blowers, covering a wide range of Honda's heavy-duty residential and commercial HSS lineup.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates part numbers across production runs, so cross-check your machine's serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this lever is the right one for your specific unit.
The Height Adjusting Lever controls the skid shoe height on a two-stage snow blower, allowing the operator to set how closely the auger housing tracks the surface being cleared. Setting the correct height protects both the pavement and the auger paddles, and keeps the machine running at its most effective clearing depth. When the lever wears, breaks, or loses its ability to hold a position, the skid shoes shift unpredictably during operation, making it difficult to maintain a consistent and safe clearing height.
