Craftsman Log Splitter Parts

This is an authentic OEM replacement .875 coupling for a log splitter. This coupling is used to connect the hydraulic pump shaft and the engine shaft. The engine provides power to the hydraulic pump, which then creates a stream of highly pressurized oil that causes the valve to engage the hydraulic cylinder and split a log. This coupling works in conjunction with a Lovejoy-style rubber spider and .500 coupling. The constant vibrations created by a running engine can wreak havoc on a coupling. Over time, these vibrations can cause the coupling to give out, especially if it is not sized or torqued correctly. Therefore, it is crucial to always check the owner's manual before replacing a part. For safety purposes, be sure to remove the spark plug before disassembling the hydraulic pump. This repair will require a torque driver to tighten the coupling into place. This replacement .875 coupling is a high-quality part sourced directly from its original manufacturer. It is compatible with log splitters made by Huskee, MTD, Troy-Bilt, and Cub Cadet. This part does not include the required .500 coupling or the rubber spider coupling. These parts must be purchased separately.

This part is an adjustable gib that is used on log splitters and chipper shredders. This component is also called a keyway.

If the adjustable gib is cracked, broken, or damaged in any way, it will need to be replaced. Remember to wear gloves when operating or performing care and maintenance on any outdoor power equipment. Never perform care and maintenance on outdoor power equipment that is powered on.This adjustable gib is a genuine MTD part. It is sold individually. This specific adjustable gib is compatible with log splitters and chipper shredders that are manufactured by MTD, Yard Machines, Cub Cadet, Yard-Man, Husky, and Troy-Bilt.

An authentic OEM replacement extension spring is an integral part of a lawn tractor or snowblowers brake system that helps to hold together and redistribute energy throughout the lower deck. When a driver applies the brakes, the lower deck has a tendency to continue moving forward with inertia. This extension spring helps to keep the parts in place and transfer a balance of energy. Although replacing the extension spring itself is a simple and straightforward process, gaining access to the spring is a little complicated as it requires removing the lawn mower or snowblower's lower deck. You will need a pair of pliers to remove the pins and cables that hold the lower deck in place but there is no other required hardware. Be sure to follow the user's manual as you remove the deck. This part is a top-quality replacement part sourced from its original manufacturer. It is designed to be used with Murray, Husky, Troy-Bilt Poulan, Yard Man, Yard Machines, Bolens, and MTD appliances. This part ships individually.

This lock washer is used frequently for a number of applications on power yard equipment. The size, 5/16, is the default for many small engine housing and manifold applications.

This part is a replacement mandrel bearing. This is a genuine OEM part made by MTD and has been sourced directly from the manufacturer. This part can be used to replace a defective or broken mandrel bearing in a variety of lawn tractor models. Mandrel bearings are a critical component that ensures no excess heat, friction, or vibration occurs while the equipment is in use. Bearings are subject to wear and tear and will require replacement when no longer working effectively. When working on or near an engine, it's important to ensure that the equipment is powered off and completely cool before beginning any repairs. For more accurate information on how and where to place this mandrel bearing, the appropriate owner's manual and equipment diagrams should be referred to.

This carburetor insulator is a genuine MTD replacement part for appliances with small engines, such as lawn mowers, lawn tractors, lawn trimmers, snowblowers, chipper shredders, tillers, and leaf blowers. The purpose of a carburetor insulator is to keep the heat of the running engine away from the carburetor, which combines the air and fuel that ignites the engine. This keeps the engine from overheating and suffering damage as a result.While there is a chance that a damaged carburetor insulator could prevent the engine from igniting altogether, it is more likely that a damaged carburetor insulator will allow for unmetered air leaks into the carburetor. Unmetered air leaks will cause the engine to take in more fuel, reducing the fuel economy of a small engine appliance. For this reason, if the symptoms align with a diagnosis of a damaged carburetor insulator, it must be individually replaced as soon as possible before using the small engine lawn appliance again.This carburetor insulator is compatible with the following brands: MTD, Cub Cadet, Yard Machines, and Craftsman.

This flat washer is used to attach the idler pulley in a number of small and medium sized gasoline powered engines. 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. Should there be a squealing sound when engaging the drive, the problem is likely the idler pulley. In these cases, the pulley must be replaced. It is a good idea to replace the surrounding hardware when replacing the idler pulley; tNhis includes the flat washer, which is subject to corrosion during heavy use. To replace the idler pulley, first detach the spark plug cap. If on a mower or tractor, drop the mower deck.
