Those drive systems are pretty slick. Thanks for explaining how it works Mustie!!
Good old Snapper friction drive .
Thank you, explains a lot. Aloha

That form of disk drive was also a major component of WW II submarine torpedo guidance computers.
I have this same set up. What a nightmare! It fell apart somehow in the middle of a blizzard. Miraculously somehow I put it back together using an online schematic with two unknown washers left over. It works better than before .
Snowblowers use a form of friction drive — not very efficient, but adequate.
