Bolens Tractor

This authentic OEM replacement part is a steering shaft intended to be used on lawn tractors. A steering shaft connects the steering wheel to the rest of the steering mechanism. As a user rotates the steering wheel, the steering shaft also rotates to move the pinion along the steering rack. The more the steering shaft rotates, the more the pinion travels along the rack, and the more the wheels turn in the direction of the steering wheel. Steering shafts most commonly have to be replaced if the steering mechanism becomes worn out or stripped. When this happens, steering will be more difficult and cause strange clunking sounds. The steering wheel may also feel looser than normal and may not recenter after being turned. Leaving a faulty steering shaft unrepaired can lead to accidents. Replacing the steering shaft means detaching the lower deck of the lawn tractor from the upper frame, then removing the steering wheel, adapter, fuel tank, and old steering shaft. This requires a socket wrench set and can is an intermediate-level repair. This part is compatible with MTD, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Yardman, Husky, and Bolens lawn tractors. It ships individually and is sourced from the original manufacturer.

It is relatively easy to replace an exhaust gasket and requires only the use of screw drivers, a socket set or a wrench set depending on the device being service. Replacement components such as sockets or screws may also be required during this repair. The gasket surfaces should be cleaned and fully dried before being installed between the carburetor and the exhaust tube. This exhaust gasket works with Toro, Simplicity, Murray and Briggs & Stratton lawnmowers, generators, snowblowers, wood chippers, and lawn tractors. It also works with equipment made by Craftsman, Husqvarna, Cub Cadet, Poulan, Wheel Horse, MTD, Ariens, and more.

There are multiple uses for the 5/16-18 Hex Screw. It is often used with small gasoline-powered yard equipment such as lawn and garden machines. While hex screws such as these may be used in edgers and snowblowers, the most frequent use this screw is in yard tractors.

In particular, these hex screws are used to secure the engine block of power tools to the frame or housing of the equipment. Once in place, these fasteners have an almost unbreakable strength to them. This is so much so the case that often, in order to detach the engine manifold and repair the inner workings of an engine, the bolts must be chiseled or cut loose.
