Parts for Mtd 5P70ML: 5P70ml Air Cleaner Parts

This is a genuine replacement for the air cleaner thumb screw found on select engines used in lawn mowers. The thumb screw is a specialty part that is used to secure the air cleaner in a stable position. Over time, the screw can become damaged or worn because of the constant engine vibrations or exposure to high heat. This screw may also be lost during air filter replacements or other repair work. In either case, it should be replaced with a genuine part like this one to ensure the air cleaner remains secure and the machine can continue to be used. This genuine OEM thumb screw is manufactured by MTD and is compatible with several machines from the brand. It can also be used with models from Bolens, Yard Man, Yard Machines, HUSKEE, Cub Cadet, and Troy-Bilt. There are hundreds of compatible models that can use this thumb screw. The part is made of durable metal with a black plastic grip for easy installation with no tools required. This item is sold individually and does not include additional hardware or parts. Always allow the engine to cool completely and wear gloves when working on lawn and garden equipment.

Installing a brand-new air filter keeps the engine in top running condition. When the machine is in operation, the vacuumed air goes through the air filter. Any dirt or dust is left in the filter media. Over time, the filter will become dirty and can no longer provide the same filtering efficiency as before. If left ignored, the tiny particles could clog the engine and the carburetor. You may experience misfires and no engine start-up. An air filter replacement is cheap and easy to do. Simply remove the air cleaner cover and take out the dirty filter. Insert the new filter into the housing. This replacement will take less than 5 minutes. A screwdriver will be needed. The MTD 951-10298 Air Cleaner Kit is a genuine air filter from MTD. Each kit comes with one paper filter and one foam filter. The foam filter can be cleaned with water and detergent. The paper filter, however, needs replacement at least once a year. This air filter kit is compatible with Cub Cadet, PowerMore, and Troy-Bilt. It can also work with other garden equipment like wheel string trimmers, chipper-shredder vacuums, and log splitters.
