Craftsman Cap, Lid & Cover

Engines, even small engines, get quite hot. Muffler shields like this one are used on small engines, like those found in log splitters, to help protect from this heat. Without a muffler shield, the engine could cause burning, which can be dangerous. If there is an issue with the heat shield, owners will want to replace it as soon as possible.Although muffler heat shields are made from metal and are meant to be durable, they could still need to be replaced eventually. They could crack or bend, or they could become corroded over time. Regardless, if there is a problem with the muffler shield, it should be replaced. Wait until the machine is cool before making any repairs.This muffler shield works with many models of small engines from manufacturers MTD, Craftsman, Columbia, Yard Machines, Cub Cadet, and Troy-Bilt. The shield is sold individually and is a genuine OEM part sourced from the manufacturer.

This breather cover plate replaces worn-out, damaged, or misplaced cover plates to ensure the outdoor power equipment runs as smoothly as possible.Breathers are essential for internal combustion engines, as they let gases escape from the combustion chamber. If gases cannot properly vent, pressure within the engine will build which can lead to ruptured seals. Eventually, this can cause oil to spill into the combustion chamber and is very problematic for the engine. Without a breather cover plate, the breather cannot function properly. This part should be replaced whenever it is worn out or shows signs of deterioration. This breather cover plate is a genuine MTD replacement part and has been sourced directly from the manufacturer. This replacement breather cover plate fits various different models of MTD, Cub Cadet, Yardman, and Troy-Bilt outdoor power equipment such as lawn mowers, log splitters, and trimmers. Please note this cover plate is sold individually.
