Parts for Mtd 31AH5DTH793: Auger Housing Parts

A cotter pin, also known as a hitch pin, is used to secure pins and shafts in place. Meant for snowblowers, riding lawnmowers, and lawn tractors, this bow-tie shaped cotter pin has a double-end design making it easy to pull or push through either side of a pre-drilled hole. This pin snaps into a locked position without tension, keeping it secure during operation. Designed for lawn and garden maintenance equipment, this part ensures secure fastening. If the power equipment is used frequently, cotter pins may have to be replaced regularly so it would be practical to keep extra bow tie cotter pins on hand. It is highly recommended that work gloves be worn during the installation of this part. This part is compatible with Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Murray, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Bolens, Yard-Man, and MasterCut brands of lawn mower, snowblower, and log splitters. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sold individually.

This spacer is a genuine MTD part that can be used as a replacement part for several different kinds of small engines, including lawn mowers, snowblowers, and wood-chippers. A spacer's function is to serve as a means to lengthen the distance between parts by fitting over a bolt or a screw to secure and maintain that distance. A reason to replace a spacer might be simply losing or misplacing the spacer itself, as it is small and can easily fall through cracks or unscrew itself over long periods of time. Other reasons include the gradual rusting, deterioration, bending, or cracking materials that can be attributed to general overuse or long-term exposure. If a spacer is subject to any of this kind of damage, it is best to replace it before using an appliance that requires a functioning spacer, as the malfunctioning spacer might cause permanent or serious damage. Always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This spacer part is compatible with the brands MTD, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, and Yard-Man. This part is sold individually.

A shear pin or shear bolt is specially made to provide auger connection to the shaft. When a foreign object comes in contact with the machine's moving part, the shear pin will break away. By doing so, the snowblower's auger system, as well as the gearbox, is safe from sustaining damage. This unique function of a shear pin means that it will need to be replaced sooner or later. To keep the shear pin in place, a retainer is inserted through. In some cases, when you hit a hard object, the retainer will bend and also need to be replaced. Replacement is easy. First, turn off the snowblower and let its engine cool down. Then, locate the bolts and remove them using a wrench. Insert the replacement. Make sure to align it properly. For replacement shear pins with retainers, you can get this genuine MTC replacement. It is compatible with snowblower models from MTD, Craftsman, Huskee, Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Yard Machines, and Troy-Bilt snowblowers. These shear pins are original MTD-made products. Four shear pins with four retainers are included.

The shear pin’s purpose is to stop the engine when it is broken. If the machinery hits something hard, the shear pin will break. This prevents injuries that could be fatal. If something large or small becomes clogged or jammed in the auger, the shear pin is meant to snap in half, rendering the auger useless. This happens once the auger reaches a certain point in pressure load, which also prevents damage to the rest of your equipment. The auger part of your machinery cannot turn without a shear pin. Since the purpose of the shear pin is to break on impact, it's a good idea to have several of these on hand for quick replacements. There’s nothing like having your equipment break down in the middle of a job. Repair is simple. Just remove the broken shear pin, line up the auger’s holes, and insert your new shear pin. Use the cotter pin to secure your shear pin. This genuine OEM auger shear pin works in conjunction with small engine equipment with augers made by Craftsman, Cub Cadet, MTD, Troy-Built, Yard Machines, and Yard-Man. This part is sold individually. Consider also ordering an MTD Pin-Bow Tie Cotter or retaining clip.

This replacement part is a flange bushing, and it is intended for use in different types of lawn equipment. This is a genuine replacement part made by MTD. This flange bushing is typically found in snow throwers but is compatible with other devices as well. The flange bushings are an important part of many appliances as they help reduce friction inside the machine. A new flange bushing might be needed if the current ones are broken or damaged in any way. It is common that different machinery needs multiple flange bushings. These small but important parts are placed around tubes or poles and are meant to assist during the rotating or sliding mechanisms. Be sure the machine is completely powered off and cooled down as the area with the bushings is often hot from friction. See the owner's manual for more exact instructions before attempting to replace this part. These flange bushings are sold as a set and are OEM replacement parts. These flange bushings are compatible with lawn equipment made by MTD.
