Need old fricrion wheel for AMF snowblower
I have an old (early 70s?) duo stage snowblower that I have almost restored. It has a Tecumseh 5 hp engine. I believe it is an AMF Snow King, Model 5860-0010. It needs a new friction wheel. I don't have the part no. Does anyone know where I could possibly find one? ------------------------------------- ##-----------------------------------------------## Delivered via http://www.thestuccocompany.com/ Building Construction and Maintenance Forum Web and RSS access to your favorite newsgroup - alt.home.repair - 323296 messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------## |

You may not need a new wheel but only need to clean the friction disk and wheel rubber of grease and oil. It's usually a mess down there. If the rubber really is shot you may be able to replace or epoxy a new rubber tire on it. I know MTD carries them for old Yardman snowblowers.See if they have one that fits. A number of snowblower manufacturers use the variable speed friction wheel and disk for their transmissions -- were probably made by one company or at least only a few. Take yours into a couple of lawn equipment dealers and see if they can match it. They probably can come close enough. |

Then maybe ping the place and ask them to tell you the outside diameter of the one you think it may be: http://www.chainsaws-etc.com/snow_blower_parts.htm Good luck, Jeff (Still using his 1965 Airens Snow Thrower.) -- Jeffry Wisnia (W1BSV + Brass Rat '57 EE) The speed of light is 1.8*10^12 furlongs per fortnight. |
