Drive Disc Replaces Ariens 03248300, 22013, 2201300, Noma 1325, 313883 and John Deere AM-123355, M110594

At first I ordered and installed a friction disc from "Fascinatte" (them misspelling fascinate should have been my first red flag). The chinese one installed fine but was quite out of round when spun (went up and down 3/8 of an inch every revolution). That bothered me, but I figured spring engagement of Drive surface would deal with it. The motor leaked gas, so I had to order gaskets for carb anyway, so I picked ANOTHER brand Friction wheel and was careful not to buy one with same pictures from some other chinese seller selling the same stuff - this is common (kind of a pain to change it, plan on being an hour). This unit from ROTARY was superb, zero up and down when spun. VERY glad I changed it! The chinese knock off one is going back DOA (dead on arrival). I pictured arm of that lift lever that raises drive plate constantly going up and down to follow uneven wheel on chinese one, and decided no way.

Fits my Ariens 5520, works great.If you're replacing the friction disk on an Ariens 5520, you don't need to punch out any of the roll pins in the hex shaft to get the shaft out. Just remove the bushing that holds the right end of the hex shaft to the frame, then slide the hex shaft a few inches to the right, just enough so that you can slip the old friction disk over the left end of the shaft. (First you have to remove the 3 bolts that hold the friction disk in place).I found that the left end of the hex shaft had been "mushroomed" slightly, so at first it wouldn't slide out of the bearing that holds that end of the shaft. So I took a file and filed gently around the perimeter of the left end of the hex shaft, and then I was able to slide the end through the bearing and slip the friction disk off the left end of the shaft.

The bolt pattern matches my machine and it does the job, but the wheel is somewhat out of round. This causes the drive system to slip occasionally, but the issue is minor enough that a slight push gets it to grab again and keep going. Not an issue when moving at sufficient speed but may be a problem on a ramp, a slippery surface, or when moving in lower gears. Not the best, but good enough and not worth ripping the machine apart again to try replacing it.

easy to install. remove wheels, unbolt disc &disc axle ends, tilt axle to replace.

Not a lot to say other than it works! My Craftsman snowblower now drives and blows snow so much better. Old one was totes shot.

got the part fast and it was a exact match for the original

Worked as advertised.

Worked perfectly...used it today
