Snow Blower Friction Wheel Rubber in 11 Sizes
Friction wheel rubber is the replaceable ring on the friction drive wheel of a snow blower, and SONJUN supplies it in eleven sizes spanning 73 to 132mm inner diameter, 100 to 149mm outer diameter and 13 to 16mm thickness. It is bought by dealers, rental fleets and importers who service mixed brand walk behind machines rather than a single model. This ring is what transfers engine drive to the wheels by pressing against the drive plate, so as it wears the machine loses ground speed, creeps when it should stand still, or refuses to pull uphill in deep snow. It is a pure consumable and the single most common drive repair on a friction drive machine, which is why holding the right diameters in stock decides whether a repair takes an hour or a fortnight.
- Eleven sizes from 73mm to 132mm ID from one supplier, so a mixed brand fleet is covered by one order
- Restores ground speed and hill climbing on a machine that has started slipping under load
- Replacing the rubber ring keeps the existing friction wheel in service instead of scrapping the drive
- Every ID, OD and thickness published, so the right size is identified from a caliper reading before ordering
- Ordered alongside friction wheels, discs and belts in one consolidated shipment
- Single piece sample orders accepted so a size can be trial fitted before buying volume

Application Scenarios
- Dealer workshops repairing machines that creep forward or will not pull in deep snow
- Rental fleets renewing drive rubbers at the end of every hire season
- Independent repair shops servicing several brands of friction drive snow blower
- Municipal depots stocking two or three diameters to cover their route machines
- Importers adding a size assortment to a container of complete machines
Who It Is For
- Snow equipment dealers and service workshops
- Importers and distributors of snow blower spare parts
- Equipment rental and hire fleets
- Independent small engine and multi brand repair businesses
- Municipal and facility maintenance departments
Problems It Solves
- A worn friction rubber slips against the drive plate, so the machine loses ground speed and stops pulling uphill
- A hardened or glazed ring makes the machine creep when the drive lever is released, which is unsafe on a hire machine
- Matching an unmarked ring by eye leads to the wrong diameter arriving and a second freight charge
- Mixed brand fleets need several diameters, and sourcing each one separately multiplies freight and admin
- Running the rubber down to the metal chews the drive plate and turns a consumable repair into a drive rebuild

How It Compares
Against Replacing the complete friction wheel
If the wheel body is sound, fitting a new rubber ring restores drive at a fraction of the cost and takes far less space in a spares shelf or a container.
Against Running the ring down until it slips badly
Once the rubber wears through it contacts the drive plate directly, which scores the plate and turns a consumable change into a drive rebuild.
Against Sourcing each diameter from a different supplier
Eleven sizes from one manufacturer lets a multi brand workshop cover its whole fleet in one order and one inspection.
Use Guide
- Measure the old ring inner diameter, outer diameter and thickness and match it to one of the eleven listed sizes before ordering
- Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead before tipping the machine to reach the friction wheel
- Inspect the drive plate for scoring while the wheel is out and replace it if the rubber has been run to the metal
- Keep oil and grease off the new ring and the drive plate face, since contamination causes slip straight away
- Check drive engagement and that the machine stands still with the lever released before returning it to service
