This is a genuine item that is supplied by the original equipment manufacturer for Murray, Snapper and Simplicity snowthrowers. The fiction disc assembly meshes with the friction disc, causing the drive wheel axle to turn. The most common reason for replacing the friction wheel is when the snowblower’s wheels don’t turn. Disconnect the spark plug wire before installing this part. The tools that you will need to replace the friction wheel disc are 3/8” socket, 9/16” socket, adjustable wrench, hammer, 1/2” socket, flat-head screwdriver, and lubrication. Keep in mind this high-quality friction disc is sold as an individual item.

Drained oil and gas. Tipped the snowblower up on the front end. Opened the drive compartment. With the help of YouTube figured out how to free the old friction wheel and install the new wheel. Greased the entire drive compartment. Repair gave me back 5 forward gears and two reverse gears.

Pulled down the bottom skid pan and found broken gear. I checked the friction disc and seen it was worn so ordered one also. When parts arrived I had it fixed in under 1 hour. Biggest problem was arrival of parts time wise being shipped. You basically don’t tear apart your snowblower in the winter time. But got it all together.
