Additional Information

The snowblower friction wheel shaft bearing 618-0063A supports the friction wheel shaft so it can rotate smoothly as the drive system engages different speeds.

If you hear grinding sounds, notice stiff drive engagement or feel vibration through the machine, the bearing may be worn or damaged.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. Wear work gloves when working near moving parts and ensure the new bearing seats properly on the shaft.
