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 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 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.
