These engines include snow blowers, log splitters, riding mowers, lawn tractors, and chippers. Because the idler pulley is subject to a great deal of resistance when the pulley is engaged, eventually the pulley will wear out.

More than just with gasoline-powered lawn tools, these versatile nuts are also found on handheld tools like impact wrenches and tools driven by compressed air. Hex nuts bind tightly with their locking grip and seldom come off. The more likely scenario, especially since so many are used in manufacturing and by power tools, is that these nuts will become lost in the course of maintaining, cleaning, and repairing mowers and other equipment. For this reason, it's always important for the user to purchase more than the anticipated number needed. Make sure also to purchase hex nuts like these that are OEM certified and guaranteed.

The grille serves a number of important purposes, including allowing airflow, preventing large debris from binding up the starter, and more. In most cases, screws do not suffer from wear and tear. However, there are many ways they might be damaged. Removing the screw with the wrong tool might round the head, for instance.

This is a flywheel key manufactured by Craftsman and also used by Tecumseh for many of their small gasoline powered engines, particularly lawn mowers. A flywheel key is a part that sits between the flywheel and the crankshaft of the engine. When the engine turns over, the flywheel causes the equipment's moving parts to turn, such as the blades of a mower. A flywheel key is designed to sheer off or break without damaging the flywheel should the mower blades hit an obstacle. If the engine will not start, starts but does not have full power, or throws out a lot of engine oil and smoke, the chances are the flywheel key is damaged. If there is a tremendous amount of backlash when the user tries to pull the starting rope, that also is a sign of a damaged flywheel key. When a flywheel key is damaged, it causes the spark plug to fire out of synch with the proper fuel/air mixture coming into the cylinder. Remember when replacing the flywheel key, it is essential to use a replacement part like this one that is a genuine OEM manufacture part. It is identical the original.
