Additional Information

The Craftsman snowblower friction wheel assembly (part number 984-0042C) plays a key role in transferring power from the engine to the drive axle, allowing the wheels to engage properly. If your snowblower is struggling to move, slipping during operation, or losing traction, a worn or damaged friction wheel may be the cause.

This assembly replaces multiple previous part numbers, including 618-0064, 684-0042C, 718-0301A, 784-5617A, 790-00011, 984-0042B, and OEM-684-0042. Refer to your snowblower?s parts diagram to ensure all necessary components are included for installation.

To maintain reliable performance, inspect the friction wheel regularly, especially after heavy use in winter conditions. Before installing, confirm compatibility with your Craftsman snowblower model.
