This muffler stud is an OEM part directly sourced from the manufacturer. The muffler stud connects the muffler to the body of the machine. Over time, stress and tension can cause these muffler studs to become loose or even fall out and become lost. Rust and corrosion due to rain and snow can also cause the muffler studs to become loose. When this happens, the studs should be replaced immediately to prevent the muffler from becoming loose or possibly coming off. If the studs are loose and the connection to the machine's engine is not secure, the machine's noise may become louder, or it could emit smoke.If the studs are loose or broken, make sure the engine has cooled down before installing new studs. Use a wrench to tighten loose muffler studs. If the studs are missing, install new ones and tighten them with the wrench. While installing the new studs, it is good to inspect the muffler for holes or damage that may reduce the performance. These muffler studs are made of high-quality steel and are sold individually. These are made to be compatible with tillers and other small engines manufactured by Cub Cadet, MTD, and Yard Machines.

This is a genuine OEM clamp sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is used in various lawn and garden machines to connect hoses to fittings. It is used to connect piping to water pumps, exhaust pipes to exhaust manifolds, and other similar applications. This connection prevents fluids or air from leaking from the hose. Clamps may be spring or screw/band clamps. Spring clamps require no tools to install and remove; however, the size must be more accurate than when using screw/band clamps. Screw/band clamps are adjustable and can be tightened or loosened. Screw clamps should be inspected periodically to ensure tightness and that the clamps have not rusted.Hose clamps are installed approximately 1/4 inch below the end of the hose. If two clamps are used, there should be 1/4 inch between the two bands. When using a screw clamp, loosen the screw with a screwdriver just enough to fit the clamp over the hose. If using a spring clamp, squeeze the clamp and hold it open. Slide the clamp over the hose and then attach the hose and clamp to the fitting. Slide the clamp into place at the joint and tighten. Do not overtighten. This brass-colored clamp is a spring clamp made of metal; it is sold as an individual unit. This clamp is compatible with many different types of pipes made by various manufacturers.

This part is a carburetor stud. A carburetor mixes fuel and air before delivering it to the engine. The carburetor stud, often called carb stud, is used to ensure a tight seal between the carburetor and the intake manifold. It is important that air and other dirt or debris do not enter the engine, and so this seal between the carburetor and the intake manifold is very important.A carburetor stud may need to be replaced if it is stripped or worn. Of course, a new carburetor stud will be needed if it is missing. If the carburetor and the intake manifold do not have a tight seal, it could be possible that new carburetor studs are needed.This part is a genuine MTD part and is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually. This specific carburetor stud is compatible with engines, lawnmowers, and log splitters manufactured by MTD, Yard Machines, Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Husky, and Troy-Bilt.

Lawn equipment and other machines with small gas-powered engines have fuel tanks that require a fuel tank lower grommet to keep the fuel from leaking.

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.

This replacement stud is designed for use in select lawn mowers. The carburetor mounting stud is specialty hardware that is used to mount the carburetor on the engine assembly. The stud bolt secures the carburetor, but it is subject to extreme temperatures and ongoing vibrations so it can become worn or even snap over time. Without a stud bolt, the carburetor will not be properly affixed to the rest of the engine, which means it will not be able to run properly. Replacing a faulty stud bolt should be done as soon as possible. This OEM stud bolt is manufactured to exact standards and is compatible with 150+ models from the Tecumseh brand, as well as select mowers from Toro and MTD. The bolt requires pliers and a socket set to replace. Always allow the engine to cool completely and drain the fuel system before performing work on the carburetor or internal engine parts. This stud bolt is made of durable metal and sold as a single unit.
