Bolens String Trimmer Parts

This is a genuine replacement recoil spring that is designed to be used with select lawn and garden equipment engines. The recoil spring is part of the starter pulley assembly. When the starter rope is engaged, the pulley will then engage the recoil spring, which retracts to cause the spinning that helps power the engine. This spring is subject to constant use and can become stretched or even snap over time and with regular use.This genuine OEM recoil spring is manufactured by MTD and designed to exact standards. It can be used in models from MTD, as well as those from RYOBI, Troy-Bilt, Yard Man, Yard Machines, and Bolens. The recoil spring is made of durable metal and sold as an individual part. The rest of the starter components will need to be purchased separately if they need replaced. Always wear gloves when performing engine repairs and be careful when working on the starter system because the springs and pulleys can be under a lot of pressure. Allow the engine to cool completely and disconnect the power before getting started.

Blade guards are essential for protection from flying debris that may be kicked up or disturbed by the edger blade.

This replacement edger blade guard can be used on multiple different edger models including Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, and Husky. Please note that this part is sold individually.

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 flanged lock nut. It’s designed to apply tension, typically on a joint that needs to have a certain amount of flex. As such, it’s mostly used on snowblower chutes and lawnmower handles. They can remain in place, but with a forgiving connection that can take a beating. The nut size is 3/8, with a thread size of 16. A lock nut will generally last for many years. However, the silicone ring inside will wear down if it’s frequently tightened and loosened. It needs to be replaced when it will no longer reliably remain in place. Generally, this begins as a symptom of slight slippage and worsens as time goes on. Thankfully, whether it’s being used on a snowblower or a lawnmower, this nut is generally straightforward to access. Simply unscrew the old nut, then screw the new nut on until it’s nice and tight. Our flanged lock nuts are genuine OEM MTD nuts, and they are sold individually.

The blade adjuster rod is used to set the position for the blade for bevel cutting. These are useful for those who want to have more control over the way their mower or edger works and the results they can achieve. The adjustment rod is made from metal and is generally long-lasting. However, over time, it can suffer from wear and tear and may even break. To replace the rod, a screwdriver, pliers, a wrench set, and a socket set may be needed. Repairing the adjustment rod should be relatively easy and only take about half an hour to complete. The rod-adjust is a genuine OEM part that can work with a range of machines from Craftsman, Yard Machines, MTD, Bolens, and Yard-Man. The rod-adjust is most commonly used in lawnmowers and edgers.

A wing knob is an essential but often overlooked piece of equipment used on many gasoline-powered lawn tools. On snowblowers, this versatile connector is used to adjust the exit chute. The knob handle is easily gripped and made of durable plastic, so when wearing mittens or thick gloves, one can still grasp and turn the wing knob. On many lawn mowers, the wing knob is used to secure and adjust the handle to the mower or, with mowers that have folding handles, to lower and store the handle for ease of transporting the mower. While it does not seem that one would ever need to replace a wing knob, these fasteners may be lost when mowers are moved from one lawn to another or when the mowers are being stored until the next growing season. On rare occasions, the threads in a wing knob can be stripped if they are not turned tightly enough when first fastened after unbending mower handles. These devices are inexpensive and virtually universal, so it is wise to keep an extra wing knob on hand in case one becomes lost. The wing knobs fit Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, Bolens, and Yard Machine mowers and snowblowers. Made of durable plastic, these OEM knobs are genuine manufactured replacement parts that perfectly match the originals.

This is a genuine replacement O-ring, which is a standard part on a number of engines. This O-ring is specifically designed as a replacement for the one found in the carburetor on select lawn and garden engines. The O-ring is designed to create a seal in the carburetor to ensure optimal performance and prevent leaks. It is also designed to help create the right amount of pressure. Over time, O-rings can become corroded, worn, or damaged due to their exposure to pressure and high heat. If they become broken or damaged, they can result in poor engine performance or even total engine failure. This genuine OEM O-ring is manufactured by RYOBI and compatible with a number of tillers, trimmers, and blowers from this brand. It is also designed for use with select models from Bolens, Yard Man, MTD, and Troy-Bilt. There are more than 150 models that can use this specific O-ring.

This genuine OEM replacement part is an extension spring for a Craftsman snowblower idler pulley assembly. The idler pulley attaches to a part of the snowblower's housing and is helps to transfer energy throughout the belt drive. This extension spring helps to redistribute some of the back-and-forth motion created in the pulley as the snowblower runs. This keeps the assembly from shifting out of place and potentially slipping. This extension spring is attached at two points and, if pulled in both directions too far, can eventually lose some of its tension. When this happens, the idler assembly can begin to shake and even slip out of place. Replacing the extension spring is an easy job that will only require a socket wrench to remove the idler pulley. A pair of pliers may help to remove the spring from its clips. This part is only compatible with Craftsman snowblowers and is sourced from its original manufacturer. It ships individually and any additional parts needed will have to be purchased separately.
