Parts for Mtd Pro 55AE231S195 / 2000: Chute Assembly Parts

This OEM part is a cotter pin for lawnmowers. The cotter pin is the small clip that secures the mower deck to the mower. A cotter pin can become rusted or damaged due to exposure to the elements. If the cotter pin is no longer securing the mower deck, then it will need to be replaced. Luckily replacing this part is a relatively simple fix.To replace the cotter pin, start by making sure the mower is turned off. After that, locate the old damaged pin. Use a pair of pliers to pull it out of its place. Once removed, slide the new pin into its opening and make sure it is set securely on the mower deck. Once secured, turn the mower on to see if the pin can hold the mower deck.This genuine replacement part is sold individually and is compatible with MTD brand mowers.

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.
