I agree with Shryp on all counts. My FIL picked up a 3 year old creampuff rider this summer with only 3 hours on it, and I had to replace the friction disk because even when fully engaged it would slip so much going up small hill the machine would just stop. Maybe it was a bad disc, but maybe sitting for two years unused did it in?
I just had my new Platinum 30 SHO serviced for this exact reason! Bad friction disc with only 8 hours on machine. New friction disc is better, but these systems are not robust to begin with unfortunately. Dealer said mine must have been defective and it was all chewed-up. They had it adjusted correctly to begin with too. No oil or any contamination.
I wonder if the friction disk is the same size as the one from the older snapper rear engine lawn mowers ?
May have to look into that if this happens again.

Got a brand new one hanging on the wall in the grudge , been there a while. Not sure if it was from my first Comet 30 or this one that is rusting in peace now .
