THIS OFFER IS FOR A NEW FACTORY ORIGINAL OEM REPLACEMENT PART – THIS IS NOT AN AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT ITEM. This offer is for a new and unused original equipment OEM factory original Ariens part # 04743700 drive disc, also known by the alternate part# 1708 , and the very old part # 3003 – this part is used as a snow blower / riding lawn mower friction drive disc and has also been known by the prior #’s : 3003, 003003, 00300300, 1708, 01708, 00170800. We have learned from experience that the original equipment disc – which has a different rubber durometer (hardness) rating, and a slightly higher domed center of the rubber ring – will likely outlast most of the aftermarket replacements. Yes, it may be a little more expensive, but then higher quality may cost a little more up front – but it usually pays off in the long run – no? Besides – it’s a real job (better said – a hassle) to install a drive disc in many of the older snow blowers, so why use parts that might not last as long or work as well? This drive disc will fit most older style Ariens snowblowers, such as a 10ML35, 10M4, 10M5, 10M6, 10M6D, 10M7D, 10ML60D, 10ML60, 910002, 910006, 910007, 910008, 910009, 910010, 910013, 910014, 910016, 910017, 910018, 910019, 910020, 910021, 910942, 910954, 910955, 910962, 910965, 910995, 10942, 10954, 10962, 10969, 10970 – As well as many of the larger frame current models snow blowers, and it also fits most Ariens rear engine rider mowers that have a rubber drive disc that makes them move. This disc is approx. 6″ in diameter including the rubber material, approx 3/4″ wide, the center hole is 3 across, and the spacing of the 5 mounting holes is 2 1/4” from center to center. If you have a compact frame snowblower unit that uses the smaller 4 1/2 dia. Disc- this part will not work on your unit. The drive disc has the 1708 number stamped into the metal plate as shown, and the metal plate appears to be shot-peened w/ media prior to zinc plating for enhanced bonding of the rubber during the curing process I would guess. They also are limiting the trimming of the rough edge of the rubber where it bonds to the back back plate – so the edges of the disc rubber may have a loose rubber “lip” of sorts on them. I guess they’re currently going for a better durability factor rather than the nicer appearance – everything has it’s trade off I guess – not sure of the real reason – but those guys know best- so we’ll leave the engineering stuff up to them. We guarantee this is a new and unused original Ariens OEM part. Can’t find what your looking for? The free listing tool.
