Additional Information

Snowblower friction disc 956-0012A replaces part numbers 656-0009 and 656-0012A. Located on the drive wheel axle at a right angle to the spinning drive wheel plate, the disc allows the plate to turn the axle, transferring engine power to the wheels for proper movement in snowy conditions.

Replace a worn or damaged friction disc if your snowblower won t propel forward or moves unevenly. Wear can occur over time with regular use, reducing traction and drive performance.

Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges. Disassemble the wheel axle to access and replace the disc, then reassemble and test operation to ensure smooth drive engagement.
