This is a sponge filter that is used in several types of lawn and garden equipment. It helps remove dirt, dust, and other debris before it can reach the engine. If the sponge filter is dirty, damaged, or otherwise not working correctly, debris can end up clogging the carburetor, which will weaken performance or prevent it from starting completely. If the dust and dirt reach the engine, serious engine damage can occur.Inspecting the sponge filter on a regular basis is important to ensure it's working well. It also needs to be replaced at least annually, and possibly more often depending on wear and tear. Replacing the air filter is simple. Take off the lid on the filter and then remove it from the machine. Replace it with the new sponge filter and replace the lid.This is a genuine OEM replacement part that is directly sourced from the manufacturer. It is sold as an individual part. The sponge filter is compatible with lawnmowers, lawn tractors, and wood chippers manufactured by Craftsman, Huskee, Cub Cadet, MTD, and Yard Machines.

Mowers are manufactured to last for about 500 hours of running, which breaks down to about 19-20 years for the typical non-commercial user. Commercial mowers, which see a great deal more use, are designed to last for 1000 hours of service, which is about 10 years. To extend the life of a lawn mower to its full potential, there are certain simple preventative routines a user can follow, including annual oil and filter changes. One important routine maintenance ritual for mowers that is often overlooked is changing the air filter, something that should be done at least annually. When the mower chugs, cycles, or simply will not start, the first thing to check is the air filter. When replacing the filter, make sure to use a genuine OEM certified replacement part like this one, which is manufactured according to the specification of the original factory filter. This filter is compatible with Bolens, Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, and MTD.

This grass catcher frame holds the grass-catching bag, which captures grass clippings for compost or simply to remove yard waste. Bagging rather than mulching allows grass to get higher and thicker without putting added stress on the mower.

This OEM replacement handle is the answer for mowers made by these manufacturers: Bolens, Murray, Mastercut, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, Craftsman, Yard-Man, and Cub Cadet. This OEM part is sold individually.

A train shield is found on many walk-behind lawn mowers. It is located on the rear side of the lawn mower. The function from the position where it is mounted is to keep grass from expelling from the mower deck. With use or as a result of accidental impact, the train shield may become damaged or fall off. If the train shield is broken or missing, it will allow grass to come out from the mower deck, which poses a safety risk. Check to see if grass is being expelled from the motor deck.Installing a train shield on a lawn mower is an easy task. There is hardware required to secure the part in place. Wear gloves for protection. Make sure the machine is entirely cool.This train shield is a genuine OEM replacement part. It is sourced from the manufacturer.

This replacement part is a shoulder screw intended for use in lawn mowers. This is a genuine replacement part made by MTD. Shoulder screws are an important part in many lawn mowers as they are responsible for keeping different parts in place and secure so that the user is safe while using the appliance. A new shoulder screw might be needed if the current one is damaged or broken in any way. It is possible for the shoulder screws to become loose or stripped overtime. It is not unusual for this part to require replacement after years of normal use. Be sure the appliance is completely powered down and cooled off before attempting to replace this part.This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually.

This is a shoulder screw that is used to secure the handles of yard equipment. Typically, this screw is used with a matching wing nut, which is sold separately. Many different varieties of push lawn mowers have handles that fold downward for ease of storage. This is one of the locations on a mower where one will find shoulder bolts and the point at which these bolts are most likely wear out. While they are made of durable machined metal, shoulder bolts receive a great deal of wear, particularly from the handles being raised and lowered each time the mower is used. When pushing down on the mower to clear wet grass clippings or to make sharp turns with the mower, the entire weight of the mower is put on the two shoulder screws where they intersect. Since the metal of the handles can turn at that juncture, extra shearing action is put on the shoulder bolts, which can wear out. It is actually advantageous that the bolts wear out since otherwise, the handles themselves would warp and break apart. These OEM genuine replacement parts fit a number of different lawn and garden machines, including many made by Cub Cadets, Husky, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, Yard-Man, Bolens, MTD, and Yard-Machines.

This is a genuine replacement bail bar that is designed for walk-behind lawn mowers. The bail bar is installed on the upper handle. The bar is engaged before the starter rope is pulled, allowing the engine to operate. This bar is responsible for stopping the mower's operation when released. Due to the repetitive motion and exposure to the elements, this bar can become worn or damaged and require a replacement. This part is also known as the blade control because it controls the engine power and blade rotation simultaneously. If the bail bar is broken or damaged, the engine and blade will not be able to stay engaged. A replacement will be necessary to continue using the mower. This OEM replacement bail bar is manufactured by MTD and designed to serve as an identical part replacement as what came with the machine. This metal handle is durable and sold as an individual unit. Additional parts and hardware will require a separate purchase. The part can be used with more than 150 models of lawn mowers from MTD, Bolens, Huskee, Yard Machines, and Yard Man. Always watch for pinch injuries when replacing pressure-held parts like this bail bar and wear gloves for hand protection.
