Default 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?

You sure it's an AMF?

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.

Try looking at the friction wheels at the bottom of this page to see if
any look like yours. Then maybe ping the place and ask them to tell you
the outside diameter of the one you think it may be:

Good luck,

You should be able to find manuals and part numbers on line if they
still exist.

There isn't any grease or oil on it. I took it to a outdoor equipment
store. They the rubber was well worn.

AMF made snowblowers for Sears. Try Sears part #27046.
