Murray 8417MA Cam Lock

This OEM cam lock is an essential part for Murray-made snow blower models. It ensures single-handed operation of the blower by maintaining the handle interlock feature. It is made of spring steel that is heat-treated to ensure it keeps its shape and operates correctly. Unfortunately, it is quite pricey, and there is no aftermarket alternative, so one has to pay a significant cost to maintain the interlock feature. The product description lists it as compatible with NOMA snowblower, Model 8-28 year 1994. CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE: The customer's reception of this product is mixed. Some users found it to be an exact fit and were impressed to fix their snow blower as needed. They praised its fast shipping and great price. Others reported that it didn't work out as it wasn't the exact same as the old one, which rendered it completely useless. Other users complained that it was about 2 inches too long, even though the model number/part number indicated that it was the right one. There were also inquiries about whether a shorter version was available, but the seller didn't have any, nor were there alternatives available.
