where can you get ariens parts on line for a model 924050 st824? i need the drive disc and friction wheel.still works but wheel is split down the middle all the way around.also i can't get 5th gear.4th and 5th are the same speed. any idea?i downloaded the adjustment procedure but any tricks to setting it up? thanks mike, janesville wi.

    The part number is 3003, very available and prices all over the place. 

Tulsa Engine Warehouse has them for $6 http://tewarehouse.com/7-04211

The part number you are referring to is 00300300 (Ariens' part numbers are always 8 digits long). This part number is obsolete. The replacement number is 00170800. Absolutely do not use an aftermarket friction disk. They are suspect at best.

   The original part number 3003 is still searchable.  Many parts companies databases list the old numbers like 2x39 and 2x35  along with the newer and or replacement numbers.  

 

>>They are suspect at best

 

    They may be suspect until you have seen and used them.  The friction disks from Tulsaenginewarehouse and Milford Power are fine.  Tough to tell but they should easily be able to go 10 years and probably many more. That’s fine for a 924050. 

    

   How good was the quality of the original friction disk on  a 932105 that had gouge like chunks around the whole friction disk.  One section was worn down to bare metal.  Given the guys driveway is 10 miles from Boston,  two cars wide and two long with a slope his machine should have gone 20 years without a repair.

   Some aftermarket parts are ok.  The Oregon replacement skids are great, thick metal, heavy, and much cheaper than Ariens parts. I think they came out with the double side skid before Ariens did.
