Friction Wheel 03248300

This friction wheel, or disc, works in conjunction with a pulley system in your lawn equipment to propel your machine forward. It is a metal disc with a rubber ring around it, has an approximate inside diameter of 2.5 inches, and is commonly mounted onto the axle of your machine. When it is broken, you can visually identify cracks in or missing parts from the part, or excessive wear on the rubber ring. If you do not replace it, your equipment may struggle to move on slippery or uneven surfaces and lose traction. To remove the old friction wheel, start by turning off the engine and disconnecting the spark plug wire. Consult your user manual for instructions on accessing the wheel. You might need a wrench or socket to remove retaining bolts, screws, or clips. Keep in mind that the replacement part is sold individually since your machine may require more than one wheel, and they tend to wear out at the same time.
