Craftsman Lawn Mower Parts

When interlock switches are working properly, they will keep the engine from starting if there is no foot is not on the brake or if the parking brake is not set. When the switch breaks, it will not allow current to reach the starter even when the brake is on, which means the engine will not start. If the solenoid is not clicking when the ignition key on the tractor or mower is turned, the interlock switch is likely to blame. This is a genuine OEM replacement interlock switch that can help get a lawn tractor up and running again. Is is compatible with riding tractors and mowers from many different brands, including Craftsman, Bolens, Yard Machines, Yard-Man, MTD, and Troy-Built.

The blade adjuster rod is used to set the position for the blade for bevel cutting. These are useful for those who want to have more control over the way their mower or edger works and the results they can achieve. The adjustment rod is made from metal and is generally long-lasting. However, over time, it can suffer from wear and tear and may even break. To replace the rod, a screwdriver, pliers, a wrench set, and a socket set may be needed. Repairing the adjustment rod should be relatively easy and only take about half an hour to complete. The rod-adjust is a genuine OEM part that can work with a range of machines from Craftsman, Yard Machines, MTD, Bolens, and Yard-Man. The rod-adjust is most commonly used in lawnmowers and edgers.

The carburetor gasket is installed between the engine and the carburetor body, providing an airtight seal so that all fuel and air going into and out of the carburetor are delivered at optimal pressure for peak engine performance. This gasket can wear down over time and create leaks in the seal, which allows air to escape and can affect the operation of the engine. In the event that the engine won’t stay engaged or isn’t running properly, there may be a problem with the gasket seal. Be sure to let the engine cool completely before working on this part. Drain the gas tank and work in a well-ventilated area. This genuine OEM carburetor gasket replacement will offer an exact fit for compatible lawn and garden equipment engines, including those from MTD, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Yard-Man, Husky, and Cub Cadet. This gasket is sold individually as a single part.

This replacement chute is an authentic OEM part for a lawn mower. The chute attaches to the side of a lawn mower, and as the blade cuts grass, it pushes the clippings towards the chute. The chute then sprays grass towards the back and side of the mower. These clippings can be left as nutrient rich compost for the lawn or the operator can go around and pick up the clippings for a stately, professional look. Chutes are made of a durable reinforced plastic, but because they are attached on the outside of the mower and protrude to the side, they can easily be rammed into trees, walls, and other obstacles. If hit too hard, the chute will tear off and grass will spray unevenly across the lawn. Fortunately, chutes are easy to replace. This repair will only require a socket wrench for disassembly and reassembly. As a top-quality replacement part, this chute comes sourced directly from the original manufacturer. It is compatible with Craftsman and Troy-Bilt lawn mowers. This part does not include any of the hardware required for assembly. Therefore, be sure to not lose the bolts removed during disassembly.

This blade adapter is made to attach a lawn mower cutting blade to the drive shaft of a push mower. Though it is made of sturdy metal and is tightly fastened to the mower's drive, the adapter and blade may wear and loosen over time. This can present a dangerous situation as well as poor cutting performance for the blade. Also, each adapter has a small insert tab that fits into the blade attachment. This tab, called a “key,” is actually a shear pin. Should the blade strike a solid object, the key will sheer off, preventing the blade from coming loose or suffering irreparable damage. The solution to either of these problems is to replace the blade adapter. The blade itself should be closely examined to make sure it fits the new adapter with no wobble or slack. To replace the blade adapter, turn the mower on its side with the air filter on top. Use a ratchet to remove the bolt that attaches the blade and adapter to the drive shaft. Make certain to fit the new adapter key into the keyway on the shaft. Always use a replacement part like this one, that is OEM certified to be identical to the original. This blade adapter is compatible with Ryobi, Yard Machines, Yard Man, Huskee, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, MTD, and Bolens mowers.

Installing a brand-new air filter keeps the engine in top running condition. When the machine is in operation, the vacuumed air goes through the air filter. Any dirt or dust is left in the filter media. Over time, the filter will become dirty and can no longer provide the same filtering efficiency as before. If left ignored, the tiny particles could clog the engine and the carburetor. You may experience misfires and no engine start-up. An air filter replacement is cheap and easy to do. Simply remove the air cleaner cover and take out the dirty filter. Insert the new filter into the housing. This replacement will take less than 5 minutes. A screwdriver will be needed. The MTD 951-10298 Air Cleaner Kit is a genuine air filter from MTD. Each kit comes with one paper filter and one foam filter. The foam filter can be cleaned with water and detergent. The paper filter, however, needs replacement at least once a year. This air filter kit is compatible with Cub Cadet, PowerMore, and Troy-Bilt. It can also work with other garden equipment like wheel string trimmers, chipper-shredder vacuums, and log splitters.

A wing knob is an essential but often overlooked piece of equipment used on many gasoline-powered lawn tools. On snowblowers, this versatile connector is used to adjust the exit chute. The knob handle is easily gripped and made of durable plastic, so when wearing mittens or thick gloves, one can still grasp and turn the wing knob. On many lawn mowers, the wing knob is used to secure and adjust the handle to the mower or, with mowers that have folding handles, to lower and store the handle for ease of transporting the mower. While it does not seem that one would ever need to replace a wing knob, these fasteners may be lost when mowers are moved from one lawn to another or when the mowers are being stored until the next growing season. On rare occasions, the threads in a wing knob can be stripped if they are not turned tightly enough when first fastened after unbending mower handles. These devices are inexpensive and virtually universal, so it is wise to keep an extra wing knob on hand in case one becomes lost. The wing knobs fit Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, Bolens, and Yard Machine mowers and snowblowers. Made of durable plastic, these OEM knobs are genuine manufactured replacement parts that perfectly match the originals.

This genuine OEM replacement auger bearing flange fits a wide range of snowblowers. The auger is the part of a snowblower that scoops up and moves it away from the area being cleared. It is held in place by a bearing, and this flange connects to the bearing to reduce friction and motion. This flange helps prevent grinding, which would degrade the bearing and cause the auger to stop working effectively. Bearings and flanges receive a lot of wear and tear because they are built to absorb friction. Over the natural course of an appliance's life, bearings and flanges will normally wear down and need replacing. If a bearing flange snaps, the auger will no longer turn, and the snowblower will not move snow. To replace a bearing flange, use a socket wrench to gain access to the belt cover and then detach the auger housing. Remove the pulley and thread, then take the auger out of its housing. Pull out the old auger bearing flange and install the new part. This part is compatible with Yard Man, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, Bolens, MTD, Huskee, and Yard Machines snow blowers. It comes sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.
