It is a genuine item that is supplied directly from the original manufacturer for use with snowthrowers. The friction disc is an important component of the drive mechanism that helps to propel the equipment forward. Unfortunately, over time it may wear out or get damaged eventually requiring a replacement. If the friction disc is worn or damaged, the snowblower will move slowly, erratically or not move at all. Please make sure to check the diagrams of your model for the correct location and application of this part. Keep in mind this high-quality assembly is made of durable metal and is sold individually.

Same as original part
My 25 year old snow blower lives again. After the local lawn and garden shop told me it couldn’t be repaired I watched a couple YouTube videos and decided I could do it myself. The replacement part matched perfectly. I was up and running in about 1.5 hours.

Removed worn parts and reinstalled new parts. It took about 1 hour including readjustment of cable actuating friction wheel. The compartment where the friction Disc assembly is contained is very tight requiring the plate be inserted at an angle before inserting pivot pins in their proper holes. Reinstalling the friction wheel was simple with the bearings removed, after the friction wheel was in place the reinstalling the bearings was easy.
