Snow Removal Equipment Transmission, Brake & Clutch

The friction wheel for a snowblower is sometimes also known as a friction disc or a friction ring. The friction wheel is what helps to move the snowblower forward. When the disc is in contact with the spinning drive wheel, the disc will rotate and turn the axle to propel the snowblower. Over time, the friction wheel can start to wear down or even break. If this happens, it will mean that the snowblower will move slowly, or that it might have erratic movements. Owners who find that they are having similar problems with their machine will want to check the friction wheel to see if it is damaged or broken. They will need to replace the disc before they can use the machine efficiently and safely. The genuine OEM replacement friction wheel is for use with snowblowers, and it is sold individually. Compatible brands include Cub Cadet, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Yard-Man, Montgomery Wards, Bolens, Huskee, MTD, Yard Machines, and Ryobi.

This is a brake puck intended for use with lawnmowers. It is made from durable material and is part of the brake assembly. The purpose of the brake puck is to create pressure on the brake disk whenever the brake pedal is pushed. This part is essential to ensuring the lawnmower stops when a user presses down on the brake. Over time, the brake puck will start to wear down and may need to be replaced.One of the indications that the brake puck needs to be replaced is a squealing sound that occurs when the brake pedal is pressed. This happens because the brake puck wears down, and metal is able to rub against metal. If the problem isn't fixed, it can cause additional issues with the lawnmower. The brake puck should be replaced using a socket set and wrench set.This brake puck is designed for use in lawnmowers manufactured by Craftsman, Toro, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Murray, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Bolens, Yard-Man, and MasterCut. It is sold as an individual part. The puck is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer.

In a snowblower, the driveshaft is connected to a part called a worm gear. The worm gear turns the auger blades which eject the snow. The worm gear is connected to the worm shaft, which causes the auger blade to turn rapidly. Eventually, the incredible torque inside the machine, plus the occasional bumps and bruises experienced by the machine in operation and when being stowed, may cause the worm gear to malfunction. When the snowblower is erratic in its operation and fails to remove snow completely, there is a good chance the problem is the worm gear. To replace the worm gear, remove the housing to get to the worm shaft. Remove the entire worm assembly. Next, remove the blower fan and remove the worm gear. Grease the auger assembly before installing the new gear. Reverse the order to reassemble. While the snowblower is disassembled, it's the best time so exam the auger, driveshaft, sheer bolts, and tires for wear. You may find other parts that need to be updated. Make sure to replace the worm bolt and any other necessary parts with a genuine OEM manufactured part such as this one. This gear can be used in a number of snowblowers, including machines made by Yard Machines, Craftsman, Bolens, Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Ryobi, Montgomery Wards, Huskee, and MTD. Part sold individually.

This pinion gear is an essential part of the steering assembly as it translates the rotation of the steering shaft into vertical motion. The pinion gear travels along the drivetrain, which pushes the wheels either forward or backward, causing the mower to turn. Without a functioning pinion gear, the mower will no longer steer. A pinion gear's teeth can slowly wear away through repeated use, causing it to begin slipping. When this happens, the operator will no longer be able to turn their mower as effectively or possibly not at all. This can be dangerous for the operator and they should stop mowing immediately. With most push lawn mowers, the pinion gear is located inside the wheel well. To replace it, simply remove the wheel and mounting washer, pop off the retaining ring, and remove the pinion. Reassemble and test the forward motion of the wheel. This genuine replacement OEM part is compatible with a number of lawn mowers from Poulan, Jonsered, Husqvarna, and Weed Eater. It comes sourced from the original manufacturer and does not include any additional hardware.

This is a rubber wheel ring that attaches to the wheel hub. Rubber wheel rings are also often called friction rings. The rubber wheel ring/friction ring meshes with the friction disc. This is what causes the drive wheel axle to turn. This is an integral part of the wheel movement.A new rubber wheel ring may be needed if the existing part is visibly damaged. The operator may also notice a grinding noise when the rubber wheel ring is starting to go bad. This may need to be replaced over time after normal wear and tear. Remember to wear gloves when operating or performing care and maintenance on any outdoor power equipment machines.This rubber wheel ring is a genuine OEM part sourced directly from Husqvarna. It is sold individually. This rubber wheel ring is compatible with snowblowers manufactured by Husqvarna, Poulan, and Jonsered.

This gearbox assembly is a genuine MTD part, sold individually. This gearbox assembly can be used as a replacement part in a snowblower. The purpose of the gearbox assembly in a snowblower is to facilitate the rotation and function of the gears of the appliance.The gearbox assembly could become punctured, warped, dented, cracked, or eroded, and if this prevents the gearbox from serving its typical function, the component should be removed and replaced by this genuine OEM replacement part. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. Always unplug the appliance before performing any kind of repair or replacement. This component is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer. This gearbox assembly is compatible with the following outdoor appliance brands: MTD, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Yard Machines, Huskee, and Troy-Bilt.

This is a genuine OEM chute gearbox sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is designed for use on many different walk-behind snowblowers and two-stage snow throwers. The chute control motor activates the gearbox, which controls the chute's rotation to guide the direction that the snow goes as it is discharged. If the chute does not rotate when activated, the gearbox should be checked after checking for objects stuck in the chute. If there is nothing impeding rotation, the chute gearbox should be removed and replaced. Normal wear and tear can cause damage to the gears and prevent them from controlling the directional movement of the chute. The chute gearbox requires a wrench set, Phillips screwdriver, and needle-nose pliers. Wear work gloves to remove and replace the gearbox only after the snowblower has cooled down. After installing the gearbox and reinstalling the remaining parts, start the machine and make sure the discharge chute moves in all directions. This repair can be made in approximately fifteen minutes. This chute gearbox has a heavy-duty plastic housing; it is sold as one complete pre-assembled unit. The chute gearbox is compatible with snowblowers and snow throwers manufactured by Troy-Bilt, MTD, Yard Machines, Yard-Man, and Cub Cadet.
