This is a flanged lock nut. It’s designed to apply tension, typically on a joint that needs to have a certain amount of flex. As such, it’s mostly used on snowblower chutes and lawnmower handles. They can remain in place, but with a forgiving connection that can take a beating. The nut size is 3/8, with a thread size of 16. A lock nut will generally last for many years. However, the silicone ring inside will wear down if it’s frequently tightened and loosened. It needs to be replaced when it will no longer reliably remain in place. Generally, this begins as a symptom of slight slippage and worsens as time goes on. Thankfully, whether it’s being used on a snowblower or a lawnmower, this nut is generally straightforward to access. Simply unscrew the old nut, then screw the new nut on until it’s nice and tight. Our flanged lock nuts are genuine OEM MTD nuts, and they are sold individually.

This genuine OEM replacement part is a flange bearing designed to be used with a wide range of lawn tractors. A bearing is a mechanical part made to restrict movement and prevent other parts from shifting about in the tractor. This is a flange bearing, referring to its particular shape. The bearing slides into place while the flange creates an added layer of protection around the connection. While restricting motion, bearings experience a lot of friction. After a long period, a bearing may eventually begin to wear away and other parts may start to feel loose or pull apart. This can cause more widespread damage in a lawn tractor, such as a broken suspension or disconnected lower deck. The difficulty of this repair will depend largely on where the flange bearing that needs replacing is located. The odds are that any repair will require a socket wrench set, a screwdriver, and a pair of pliers to access any flange bearing. This replacement flange bearing is sourced from its original manufacturer and will fit tractors made by Ryobi, MTD, Bolens, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Yard Man, and Yard Machines. This part does not include any additional hardware.
