Re: Ariens 824 Friction Disk/Alum. Drive Disk Replacement?

The drive plate only slides on the hex shaft. It is attached to the engagement fork/yolk, I'd recommend you replace this plate or the new friction disk might not last very long. When you replace the drive plate make sure you clean off all the old lubricant from the hex shaft and re-grease. Also oil the bronze bushings the shaft rides in with gear oil.


I was hoping snowmann was correct on this one. The above is what it looks like to me. I see Kurt has done it so I am hoping he can clear it all up. Or maybe snowmann actually did both. If he did my apologies for questioning what he posted.

I have a 824/932101 that I have had issues with. The friction disc rubber was shredded, and the drive plate was all scored up. I have replaced all of this, however, the thing that I am really nervous about is the shift fork that hooks onto the friction disc assembly. This mounts into a hole in the frame. The problem I am forseeing prior to putting this all back together is there is a bit of play in this assembly and causes the shift fork rod to dislodge from the mounting hole and the fork will come off the friction disc assembly completely.

Anyone familiar with this issue and or the complete parts lineup for this and how to eliminate the play? I did find a flat washer when I removed the bottom panel. However, unsure if this is related.

Thanks for any help out there!

Hi Kurt,

I will take a look at the problem you are concerned about on my 824/932101. There should be bushing flanges at each end of the shift fork- 05514500 and 05503700.

I have mine apart because I am changing my Friction disk and plate. I ordered the parts today. I already removed the old disk but I have not removed the plate yet. I see you have replaced both on yours. Is there anything you can tell me about replacing the Plate? There are no direction for this replacement so I was going to wing it. My idea after looking at it was if I remove the cotter pin in the far back left hand corner from the clutch fork it will let me move it further toward the back wall and free up the bearing assembly that sits under the Friction plate. Then it looks like I can just lift the plate upward of the hex shaft to remove. Am I in for a surprise when I go to lift what looks like a free floating plate? Is there anything holding it on the hex shaft or is the clutch fork the only thing keeping it down?

Thanks in advance for any help on this.
