Know before you buy
This part is designed to replace OEM numbers 935-04054, 935-04054A, 735-04054, and 93504054A. It is compatible with major brands including MTD, Craftsman, Husky, Yard Machines, and Yard Man, specifically fitting models like the CA326, CA330HD, and 24788787.
Yes, it is constructed from durable rubber designed to meet or exceed OEM quality standards. It is engineered to provide the same grip and drive function as the original component installed on your gas-powered snowblower.
While many homeowners with basic mechanical experience can perform this repair, it involves accessing the internal drive system of your snowblower. If you are comfortable working with tools and following a service manual, it is a manageable task, though professional installation is always an option if you are unsure.
You should consider a replacement if your snowblower is struggling to move forward, slipping while under load, or if you notice visible cracks, glazing, or thinning on the rubber surface of the existing wheel. These signs typically indicate that the friction material has worn down and can no longer maintain proper contact with the drive disc.
Yes, the GardenPal friction wheel is backed by a one-month warranty. This covers manufacturing defects to ensure the part performs as expected once installed.
