If the current auger paddle is broken or in any way damaged, this part can be used as a replacement. It is intended for use with snowblowers.These paddles scrape the ground to pick up snow and allow it to be efficiently removed. Because the auger paddles have such frequent contact with the ground, they can wear down easily, thus requiring replacement. When working on or near an engine, always ensure that the equipment is powered off and completely cooled down before attempting to undergo any repairs. For more accurate information on how and where to install this auger paddle, the appropriate owner's manual and equipment diagrams should be referred to. This auger paddle is suitable for use on a variety of snowblower models manufactured by MTD, Troy-Bilt, Yard Man, Cub Cadet, and Yard Machines.

With small gasoline-powered tools that require control panels, this hex screw attaches the panel to the handles of the tools. Machined to be durable, important screws such as these take a real beating. In their locations at critical points on the handle, the hex screws are considered "wear items," and thus periodically, they must be replaced. The control panel itself is often a location of extreme forces, jostling, and abrupt movement in unpredictable directions. The constant movement, with sheet metal rubbing against the hex screws from every direction, make wear inevitable. The manufacturers recommend that spare screws of this type be kept on hand if the heavy use of the equipment is expected. Among the gasoline-powered tools that use these screws are snowblowers, yard tractors, mowers, tiller, chippers, shredders, and other tools requiring hand-maneuvered levers. These screws are compatible with a number of equipment brands and manufacturers, including MTD, Ryobi, Poulan, Yard-Man, Bolens, Troy-Bilt, and Yard Machines.

This flat washer is used to attach the idler pulley in a number of small and medium sized gasoline powered engines. These engines include snow blowers, log splitters, riding mowers, lawn tractors, and chippers. Because the idler pulley is subject to a great deal of resistance when the pulley is engaged, eventually the pulley will wear out. Should there be a squealing sound when engaging the drive, the problem is likely the idler pulley. In these cases, the pulley must be replaced. It is a good idea to replace the surrounding hardware when replacing the idler pulley; tNhis includes the flat washer, which is subject to corrosion during heavy use. To replace the idler pulley, first detach the spark plug cap. If on a mower or tractor, drop the mower deck. Remove the original pulley and install in order: replacement pulley, hex bolt, flat washer, flange nut. Apart from dropping the mower deck, the only tools required to complete this installation may be a 9/16 ratchet and combination wrench. This washer is a genuine OEM replacement part, designed to perfectly replicate the original piece. This washer is compatible with Troy-Bilt, Yard Man, Yard Machines, MTD, and Craftsman devices.
