Overview
Cub Cadet 984-0042C is the genuine friction wheel assembly, 4.9 in. in diameter, used in the friction-disc drive of self-propelled snow throwers. The rubber-faced wheel rides against the drive plate to carry power to the wheels; when the rubber wears or glazes the machine can slip or lose drive. It is the factory MTD part number now sold under the Cub Cadet parts brand.
