Parts for Mtd 31A-242-762: Auger & Drive System Parts

A flange nut's unique wide flange design distributes the nut's pressure over the part it is securing. In return, it creates an even fastening surface, which reduces part damage and nut loosening. This one-piece all-metal fastener has a lock nut version that features a protruding circular flange. This drastically increases bearing surface, compatibility either for irregular or oversized holes, and surface tension reduction. Flange lock nuts are the preferred type of fastener for many lawnmower models because it can provide better fastening than regular screws, which are known to loosen under extreme vibration. However, it’s important to know that flange lock nuts are susceptible to wear and tear due to constant vibration exposure. It is essential to replace the broken flange lock nut immediately to prevent serious damage to the lawnmower. The MTD 712-04063 Flange Lock Nut OEM replacement can be used with Craftsman, White Outdoor, Yard Machines, MTD, or Columbia lawnmowers. It is a genuine or OEM MTD replacement part that measures 5/16-18. It is threaded and requires the use of a wrench. This replacement flange lock nut is sold individually. An MTD bolt carriage may also be needed and is sold separately.

The drive V-belt, manufactured by Craftsman, is used in one- and two-stage snow blowers as well as tillers. This is a drive belt that connects the engine to the auger of the tiller or snowblower via a pulley at either end. This turns the blades of the tiller or the auger blades of the blower to expel snow. As a flexible, hardened rubber part connecting other moving parts, a V-belt is considered “replaceable,” meaning that users should expect to have to replace this part during normal use of the equipment. Signs that a drive V-belt may be going bad are a squealing sound when the blower's auger or the tiller's blades are first engaged, or if the auger is slow to engage and loses power during use. To replace the V-belt, the equipment must be secured and the spark plug caps removed. Tilt the device to reveal the location of the belt. It must detached from the engine pulley and the transmission pulley. When replacing the V-belt, before tightening the pulley, make sure all moving parts are properly aligned. This genuine OEM part is compatible with machines sold by MTD, Yard Man, Craftsman, and Yard Machine.

This is a genuine replacement belt designed to work with multiple types of snowblowers. It is sometimes called a wheel drive belt or a V-belt. The belt is installed on pulleys that allow the transfer of motive power from the engine to the wheels and the auger, allowing the snowblower to move forward, as well as break up and throw snow. These belts are made from high-quality rubber, but they will suffer from wear and tear over time. Through normal use, exposure to extreme temperatures, and over time, the rubber can crack, and eventually, the belt will break. If the snowblower's wheels will not turn, it is most likely that the belt needs to be replaced. Replacing the belt is simple, but will require accessing the pulleys. Remove the old belt and then install the new one according to the owner's manual. Note that this is an OEM replacement part and is sold individually. It is designed for Craftsman and MTD snowblowers, as well as models from Ryobi, Huskee, Cub Cadet, Yard Machines, Yard-Man, and Troy-Bilt.

This self-tapping screw is used to attach various parts to the engine housing of medium sized gasoline powered engines, in particular yard tools such as tillers, snow blowers, yard tractors, riding mowers, power vacuums, shredders, and chippers. It is used in over 150 different gasoline powered engines. Screws such as these are used particularly when a device is going to receive a great amount of vibration and stress while the engine is running and rotating tools are engaged. Such devices sustain a great deal of wear over time and the parts subject to replacement will eventually fail and need to be replaced. In such cases, it is wisest to replace the attaching hardware such as housing screws as well, because it is a self-tapping screw. Screws of this type are designed to forge a tight bond between the metal pieces they are securing together, but once loosened, they should ideally be replaced with new hardware. Make sure when replacing these screws to use genuine OEM parts like these screws. These replacement parts are manufactured to be identical to the original pieces. This hex screw is compatible with the following brands: MasterCut, Yard-Man, Yard Machine, Montgomery Wards, MTC, Murray, Bolens, Craftsman, Turf King, Troy Bilt, Cub Cadet, Huskee, Toro, and Ryobi.

A flange lock nut, also known as a flange lock or a lock nut, is created to be used in various types of lawn and garden equipment. This flange lock nut holds other parts in place and, when properly threaded, will resist loosening. Over time, a flange lock nut may begin to weaken and may become loose or break. If it appears to be broken or weak, a replacement is required. Flange locks can be adjusted and uninstalled after use. When replacement is required, you may need a socket set, screwdriver, hacksaw, and butane torch. The socket wrench will loosen the bolt it is connected to, while the torch is used to heat the lock nut. A socket wrench may remove the nut, but sometimes cutting it with a hacksaw is required.

This genuine OEM replacement part is a push cap designed for snowblower, tiller, and edger wheel assemblies. A push cap is a special type of nut, or fastener, that helps to hold unthreaded shafts in place. Although small, this push cap helps to secure the wheel to the axle. Push caps are most commonly damaged if the operator uses their appliance in rough terrain. If damaged, it can fall off, causing the wheel to also fall off. Replacing push caps is an easy repair as they attach to the outside of the wheel assembly. The only hardware required to make this repair is a nut driver. If you do not have a nut driver, a pair of pliers can also be used to attach the new push cap. This part is a high-quality replacement part meant for Yard Man, Husky, Ryobi, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, MTD, Bolens, and Cub Cadet appliances.
