JZGRDN Friction Drive Disc

If your snow blower is struggling to move forward, hesitates when engaging the drive, or slips while under load, the friction disc is likely worn out. You may also notice the rubber edge of the disc has become smooth, cracked, or uneven.

No, this specific part (7600135YP) is engineered for compatibility with select models from Ariens, Snapper, and Troy-Bilt. Always verify your snow blower's model number against the manufacturer's parts diagram before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

It is a manageable project for most DIYers, but it does require some mechanical disassembly of the snow blower's chassis. Plan to set aside a few hours and have your owner's manual or a service guide handy to help you navigate the process.

This package includes one friction drive disc only. You will need to reuse your existing hardware, and it is recommended to have a high-quality, low-temperature grease on hand to lubricate the drive shaft and related components during reassembly.

Check for glazing, where the rubber surface has become shiny and hard, or physical damage like chunks missing from the edge. If the rubber is worn down to the metal plate or is no longer making firm contact with the drive plate, it is time for a replacement.
