Additional Information
The Murray Snowblower Friction Wheel Assembly, part number 55323MA, helps power the drive system by pressing against the friction disc to rotate the wheels. This part replaces previous part numbers 33755, 33755MA, and 55323.
If your snowblower won t move or slips between gears, the friction wheel may be worn or damaged. Installing a new friction wheel assembly can restore traction and improve control during snow clearing.
To install, disconnect the spark plug wire and wear work gloves. Access the drive plate by removing the bottom cover, then remove the old friction wheel and install the new one. Make sure it s aligned properly and spins freely. Reassemble and test movement before use.
