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.

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.

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.
