Additional information

This friction disc pin, part number 738-04164A, holds the friction disc in position on the drive assembly so speed and direction changes engage smoothly. Proper pin fit helps keep the friction wheel aligned and prevents slippage during operation.

If the snowblower hesitates, loses drive, or the friction disc shifts out of position, the pin may be worn, bent, or missing. Excessive play or uneven wear in the drive system can also point to a pin issue.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Insert the pin fully through the friction disc and mating components, then secure it so the disc stays aligned and moves smoothly.

Friction disc pin 738-04164A replaces part number 738-4164.
