This screw is used on a variety of lawn and garden equipment from many manufacturers. This hex screw is a large bolt that has a six-sided head that can be used to fasten metal to wood or wood to wood. This type of screw is unique from traditional screws because the bolt head needs to be held with a socket while a second wrench is used to tighten or loosen the part. The bolts have a smooth shank and small threads. These screws can break or become damaged and no longer do their job. When that happens, they will need to be replaced. A hex key wrench can be placed into the slot of the screw and turned counterclockwise to loosen up the bolt. The replacement hex screw can then be placed in the original hole to adhere parts together on lawn equipment. This is a genuine replacement OEM screw that is commonly used on Craftsman, Toro, Murray, MTD, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Yard-Man, MasterCut, Cub Cadet, and Huskee lawn mowers, log splitters, snowblowers, chainsaws, tillers, and string trimmers. The screw is sold individually and made of durable metal.

This hex bolt is a necessary component used in a variety of small to medium sized gasoline powered engines used primarily in yard work, gardening, and landscaping. The primary use of this hex bolt is to secure the idler pulley assembly to the body of the machine. The idler pulley functions to engage the turning mechanism of the yard tool when engaged. The power yard tools that require an idler pulley which would use this screw are tillers, riding mowers, yard tractors, tillers, snow blowers and chippers. Engaging the rotating part of the yard tool places a great deal of resistance on the idler pulley, which may eventually result in it needing to be replaced. When replacing the idler pulley assembly, it's important to remember that the attaching hardware, such as the hex bolt, has also experienced a great deal of wear and should be replaced as well. This hex bolt attaches the idler pulley assembly directly to the machine housing and can be removed with a 9/16 wrench. Make sure when replacing the bolt to use a genuine OEM manufactured part that is identical to the manufacturer's original piece. This bolt is compatible with the following brands: Yard-Man, Bolens, Craftsman, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Huskee, Ryobi, Murray, MTD, MasterCut, and Montgomery Wards.

This clevis pin is a metal fastener without threads like most screws. It has similarities to a bolt and is often inserted into a pre-drilled hole to secure two or several items together in yard and garden equipment. Clevis pins will have a hold through the end where cotter pins can be attached to secure the pins into place. Sometimes these pins can become corroded or experience damage which will require them to be replaced.If the clevis pin is falling out, broken, or damaged, it needs to be removed. Spraying it with penetrating oil and letting it sit for a few hours before pulling the cotter pin away from the clevis pin is the best technique. A pry bar can be used to take the pressure away from the clevis pin before hammering against the clevis pin to take it out. At that point, the new clevis pin can be installed.Created for use in chainsaws, lawnmowers, and snowblowers, this clevis pin fits lawn and garden equipment by MasterCut, Craftsman, Yard-Man, Toro, Yard Machines, Cub Cadet, MTD, and Murray.

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.

This is a brake rod extension spring designed for lawn mowers and lawn tractors. The extension spring is a mechanical component crucial to braking. The spring applies tension between the brake rod and the deck brake bracket and holds the brake bracket in place when the brake is off. Extension springs are simple mechanical devices and are subject to wear and tear over time. Repeated stress exerted on the spring may cause it to weaken or to break entirely. If the brakes do not engage when depressed, a broken or deformed tension spring may be the culprit. Replacing the extension spring is a simple job requiring a set of wrenches and pliers. Installing a new spring will require the removal of the rear tire on the same side that the brakes are located. First, take off the two bolts fastening the brake caliper, and disengage the cotter pin and washers from their lever. Next, remove the old spring and replace it with the new one, making sure to refasten the cotter pin and washers after exchanging the springs. Lastly, reaffix the caliper and wheel.This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually.
