Cub Cadet Fastener

A flange nut's unique wide flange design distributes the nut's pressure over the part it is securing. In return, it creates an even fastening surface, which reduces part damage and nut loosening. This one-piece all-metal fastener has a lock nut version that features a protruding circular flange. This drastically increases bearing surface, compatibility either for irregular or oversized holes, and surface tension reduction. Flange lock nuts are the preferred type of fastener for many lawnmower models because it can provide better fastening than regular screws, which are known to loosen under extreme vibration. However, it’s important to know that flange lock nuts are susceptible to wear and tear due to constant vibration exposure. It is essential to replace the broken flange lock nut immediately to prevent serious damage to the lawnmower.

Few parts fulfill as many roles on lawn mowers and other landscaping power tools than the cover screw. This screw serves to attach metal housing parts, assemblies, and shrouds to one another on equipment such as power vacuums, snow blowers, edgers, tillers, hedge trimmers, lawn tractors, leaf blowers, grass trimmers and cultivators. As these are extremely durable metal screws, they seldom fail under ordinary use. It should be noted, however, that they are most often used at connection and pressure points. Stresses at these junctions sometime loosen screws, causing them to be lost or occasionally resulting in stripped threads. It's also occasionally the case that these screws are lost during repair or routine maintenance of yard equipment because of their small size. Users should make sure to consult their owner's manuals for replacement steps and any special instructions. Because of their small size and the ease of losing them during repair work or maintenance, it's recommended to keep a supply of appropriately sized screws on hand. Most importantly, when replacing a part make sure to use a genuine OEM replacement part. They are manufactured according to the specs of the original parts and are perfect replicas.
