Parts for Mtd 31AE993I401: Blade Assembly Parts

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 is a replacement bell washer, a flat washer that can be used with a wide range of various types of lawn and garden equipment. The inner dimension of this washer is 0.40 inches, while the outer dimension is 0.88 inches. Washers are typically used as a way to help ensure a tight connection when used with bolts or screws. They will also help to distribute the pressure of the connection and reduce the risk of corrosion. Washers will also provide some protection from damage during installation. Washers could need to be replaced for any number of reasons. In some cases, they might have become corroded or worn down over time. This could mean they no longer provide a solid and secure connection. Other times, the washer could become lost while working on the machine. Owners should always be sure that they replace any lost or damaged washers right away. Not using washers can reduce the lifespan of the machine. This is a genuine OEM bell washer that is sold individually. It is typically used in lawn mowers, snowblowers, tillers, leaf blowers, string trimmers, log splitters, wood chippers, edgers, and chainsaws. It is compatible with Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Ryobi, Troy-Bilt, Husky, Murray, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Montgomery Wards, Bolens, Yard-Man, Turf King, and MasterCut brands.
