This genuine OEM replacement friction disc wheel is designed to fit a wide range of snowblower engines. A friction wheel attaches to the friction disc of a friction drive transmission. This style of transmission is common to many lawn appliances. Rather than relying on chains or sprockets, a friction wheel transmission uses two rotating wheels to drive the axle. If one wheel is damaged, the transmission will seize up, and the engine will not run. Over time, friction plates will wear down through repeated use, and the transmission will eventually give out. Signs of a failed transmission include noticeable vibrations, poor engine performance, out-of-place revving, and a slipping engine. Replacing the friction disc will require a socket wrench to remove the wheel and hex shaft, as well as a pair of pliers to pry away any clips securing those parts into place. Be sure not to lose any of these small components, as they are needed for reassembly. Before starting any repair, be sure to drain any fuel from the appliance. This part is compatible with Murray, Snapper, and Simplicity snowblowers and is sourced from the original manufacturer. As a top of the line replacement part, it ships individually.

The ball bearing is a standard hardware part with multiple applications on various lawn and garden machines. The bearing is typically used in a position where it can reduce friction between two rotating components. This exposes them to constant wear, heat, vibration, friction, and pressure, causing them to wear out and become a part of routine maintenance for many machines. In the event that ball bearings fail, they will typically affect the operation of whatever they are attached to, or they could create squealing noises or other sounds from the machine. A prompt replacement with this genuine ball bearing will prevent the risk of further damage. This genuine OEM replacement part is manufactured by Murray and designed to work with more than 150 snowblowers and tractors from Snapper, Simplicity, and Murray. Buyers should check their owner's manual for the location and application of this ball bearing. This is made of durable metal and sold individually. Those who need several bearings will have to buy multiple quantities. Pliers and a screwdriver are required to complete the repair.
