Columbia Tiller 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.

It is a genuine or OEM MTD replacement part that measures 5/16-18. It is threaded and requires the use of a wrench. This replacement flange lock nut is sold individually.

A flange lock nut, also known as a flange lock or a lock nut, is created to be used in various types of lawn and garden equipment.

If it appears to be broken or weak, a replacement is required. Flange locks can be adjusted and uninstalled after use. When replacement is required, you may need a socket set, screwdriver, hacksaw, and butane torch. The socket wrench will loosen the bolt it is connected to, while the torch is used to heat the lock nut. A socket wrench may remove the nut, but sometimes cutting it with a hacksaw is required.

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.

These are C-shaped tines that can cut through dense soil.If the tiller tines are bent, dull, or damaged, they will need to be replaced, otherwise they might till the soil unevenly and may not reach the depth required. To replace the tines, remove the spark plug wire before taking off the tine shield end cover. Taking out the tines requires removing the cotter pin from the clevis pin so the clevis pin can be pulled out. Next, the tines can be pulled directly off of the shaft.

This is a replacement part for select riding mowers designed to ensure smooth rotation for years of use. This part is circular and tapers off into a hexagonal shape to support rotating shafts that create friction inside of machinery. Rotating parts are almost a given in most machinery like riding mowers, so the hex flange bearing provides support in multiple ways to parts such as wheels, rotors, and gears.The hex flange bearing serves two fundamental roles to make machinery run efficiently. For starters, friction will inevitably occur in rotating shafts, so bearings reduce the amount of friction and related wear and tear. The second function of this part is protecting the rotating from damage due to pressure created during operation.This genuine OEM sourced replacement part is intended to be used for lawn tractors from MTD and other yard machines. This part is compatible with manufacturers including Yard Machines, Bolens, Yard Man, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, and Husky. A wrench may be used for an easier replacement installation.
