The carburetor gasket plate creates a seal between the air cleaner base and the carburetor body. This plate is made of durable material but it is exposed to constant pressure and heat, which can cause it to degrade over time. It can also become damaged or broken, which would require a replacement. If the gasket is degraded or damaged, it could allow air to leak out of the engine, reducing compression and affecting performance. Severe cases could result in total engine failure, which is why replacement should be done as soon as possible. This genuine OEM gasket plate is designed to be used in a variety of log splitters, tillers, and lawn mowers from brands like Yard Machines, MTD, Yard Man, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and Husky. This carburetor gasket plate is made of durable materials and sold as an individual piece. No hardware is included for this part and will require an additional purchase if needed.

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.

Mowers are manufactured to last for about 500 hours of running, which breaks down to about 19-20 years for the typical non-commercial user. Commercial mowers, which see a great deal more use, are designed to last for 1000 hours of service, which is about 10 years. To extend the life of a lawn mower to its full potential, there are certain simple preventative routines a user can follow, including annual oil and filter changes.
