Columbia Log Splitter Parts

A flange nut's unique wide flange design distributes the nut's pressure over the part it is securing. In return, it creates an even fastening surface, which reduces part damage and nut loosening. This one-piece all-metal fastener has a lock nut version that features a protruding circular flange. This drastically increases bearing surface, compatibility either for irregular or oversized holes, and surface tension reduction. Flange lock nuts are the preferred type of fastener for many lawnmower models because it can provide better fastening than regular screws, which are known to loosen under extreme vibration. However, it’s important to know that flange lock nuts are susceptible to wear and tear due to constant vibration exposure. It is essential to replace the broken flange lock nut immediately to prevent serious damage to the lawnmower.

This is a recoil starter assembly, first designed for rototillers, but also used on some models of wood chippers. It measures 7 inches in diameter and has a metal housing rather than plastic. This makes it more durable, suitable for heavy-duty lawn care responsibilities. The pull cord itself is standard nylon, well suited to pulling a heavier recoil. The purpose of a recoil starter assembly is to provide a relatively low-impact way of starting the engine. Instead of turning a crank, an operator can pull a cord, which is housed inside the starter assembly. Under ordinary circumstances, this assembly will rarely need to be entirely replaced, but damage can occur due to dropping or due to pulling the cord too hard when the engine is seized. In this case, a recoil starter assembly is a drop-in repair. Unscrew the old starter assembly, seat the new one, and screw it in. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is sold individually.

This air cleaner cover is designed to house the air filter on larger lawn equipment and other outdoor power tools. There is no aspect of small engine care more necessary than protecting the air that goes into the carburetor and cylinder from yard dust. Nothing is more incapacitating to a small engine than being clogged with dust, pollen, and other particulates that are invariably stirred up during landscaping work. While the air cleaner cover itself is not a moving part and would not seem to be subject to replacement, it is occasionally the case that, through extensive use or accidental contact, the cover becomes unable to shield the air filter within it. In these cases, it is essential to replace the cover with an OEM certified replacement cover that has been manufactured to the same specification as the original. Though replacing the cover itself is quite simple, it probably a very good idea to replace the air filters at the same time.

This is an authentic OEM replacement .875 coupling for a log splitter. This coupling is used to connect the hydraulic pump shaft and the engine shaft. The engine provides power to the hydraulic pump, which then creates a stream of highly pressurized oil that causes the valve to engage the hydraulic cylinder and split a log. This coupling works in conjunction with a Lovejoy-style rubber spider and .500 coupling. The constant vibrations created by a running engine can wreak havoc on a coupling. Over time, these vibrations can cause the coupling to give out, especially if it is not sized or torqued correctly. Therefore, it is crucial to always check the owner's manual before replacing a part. For safety purposes, be sure to remove the spark plug before disassembling the hydraulic pump. This repair will require a torque driver to tighten the coupling into place. This replacement .875 coupling is a high-quality part sourced directly from its original manufacturer. It is compatible with log splitters made by Huskee, MTD, Troy-Bilt, and Cub Cadet. This part does not include the required .500 coupling or the rubber spider coupling. These parts must be purchased separately.

An authentic OEM replacement extension spring is an integral part of a lawn tractor or snowblowers brake system that helps to hold together and redistribute energy throughout the lower deck. When a driver applies the brakes, the lower deck has a tendency to continue moving forward with inertia. This extension spring helps to keep the parts in place and transfer a balance of energy. Although replacing the extension spring itself is a simple and straightforward process, gaining access to the spring is a little complicated as it requires removing the lawn mower or snowblower's lower deck. You will need a pair of pliers to remove the pins and cables that hold the lower deck in place but there is no other required hardware. Be sure to follow the user's manual as you remove the deck. This part is a top-quality replacement part sourced from its original manufacturer. It is designed to be used with Murray, Husky, Troy-Bilt Poulan, Yard Man, Yard Machines, Bolens, and MTD appliances. This part ships individually.
