This part is an idler pulley. The idler pulley applies tension to and guides the engine drive belt. A wrench set is needed to perform any repair involving the idler pulley part.The idler pulley can become worn over time with normal use. Wear to the pulley can cause the belt to slip. Signs that the idler pulley needs to be replaced include squealing noises coming from the equipment, the engine stalling, or overheating. The idler pulley is an essential component and it is important to replace this part if it becomes worn, broken, or damaged in any way.This part is a genuine MTD part and is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer and it is sold individually. This idler pulley is compatible with lawn tractors and snowblowers manufactured by MTD, Yard Machines, Bolens, Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, and Husky.

There are multiple uses for the 5/16-18 Hex Screw. It is often used with small gasoline-powered yard equipment such as lawn and garden machines. While hex screws such as these may be used in edgers and snowblowers, the most frequent use this screw is in yard tractors. This variety of screw is commonly used in attaching the various appendages of gas-powered equipment to a central operating platform. In particular, these hex screws are used to secure the engine block of power tools to the frame or housing of the equipment. Once in place, these fasteners have an almost unbreakable strength to them. This is so much so the case that often, in order to detach the engine manifold and repair the inner workings of an engine, the bolts must be chiseled or cut loose. In such cases, it is necessary for the bolts to be replaced during reassembly. Manufacturers insist that genuine OEM replacement parts be used in the rebuilding process. These replacement parts were manufactured to the same exacting specifications used to make the original screws. These OEM screws are compatible with equipment made and sold by Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Husky, MTD, Bolens, and Yard Machines.
