Additional Information

The snowblower friction wheel kit 707840 replaces the friction wheel that contacts the drive plate to move the snowblower forward or backward. A new friction wheel restores smooth, consistent traction drive operation.

If your snowblower hesitates, jerks during movement, loses drive power or struggles in certain speeds, the friction wheel may be worn or hardened and unable to grip the drive plate effectively.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. Wear work gloves, open the drive housing carefully and install the new friction wheel according to your service manual to ensure proper alignment and drive performance.
