Yard-Man 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.

The Clutch Assembly is an OEM part for MTD outdoor power equipment. This assembly is used in various lawn and garden machines to engage and disengage the power from the engine to the drive mechanism, allowing for controlled operation of the equipment.

Causes of a bad clutch assembly can include wear and tear from regular use, exposure to extreme temperatures, or damage due to improper handling or maintenance. A malfunctioning clutch can lead to poor performance and control of the equipment.

Symptoms of a bad clutch assembly include:

• Difficulty in engaging or disengaging the drive mechanism
• Slipping or jerky movements during operation
• Unusual noises when the clutch is engaged
• Loss of power transmission from the engine to the drive components

This MTD replacement part is also compatible with other brands and models within the MTD family, ensuring a wide range of applicability for your outdoor power equipment needs.

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.

The clutch assembly uses centrifugal force to connect the shafts and create the drive shaft motion that powers the machine. The drive shaft nests inside the other shaft, and over time these parts can wear and become damaged with regular use. Today's parts can even continue to function long past when they should, so it may not be apparent that a clutch assembly needs to be replaced until the entire unit is bad. If the engine is not performing as it should or if the drive shaft seems unstable, it may be time to replace the clutch assembly. This genuine OEM part includes everything needed for the job. This OEM clutch replacement is designed for use with various cultivators, edgers, and trimmers. It can be used on machines from MTD, RYOBI, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Murray, and Husky. This assembly includes the clutch, clutch drum, washer, and left-hand threaded screw. Always disengage the spark plug and allow the engine to cool completely before beginning repairs.

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.
