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. The MTD 712-04063 Flange Lock Nut OEM replacement can be used with Craftsman, White Outdoor, Yard Machines, MTD, or Columbia lawnmowers. It is a genuine or OEM MTD replacement part that measures 5/16-18. It is threaded and requires the use of a wrench. This replacement flange lock nut is sold individually.

A flange lock nut, also known as a flange lock or a lock nut, is created to be used in various types of lawn and garden equipment.

If it appears to be broken or weak, a replacement is required. Flange locks can be adjusted and uninstalled after use. When replacement is required, you may need a socket set, screwdriver, hacksaw, and butane torch.

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.

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 genuine OEM replacement jam nut attaches to the idler bracket on a tiller. Jam nuts are a special type of nut designed to not unthread or strip out over time. Jam nuts are usually fastened on with another standard nut and then the two nuts are tightened against each other. Jam nuts can be easily identified from a standard nut because they are roughly half the size. Jam nuts can be lost while making repairs because of their small size. If lost, it might not affect the idler bracket immediately, but over time the standard nut may begin to slip or unthread. Therefore, the jam nut should be replaced as soon as possible. When making this replacement, be sure to unthread the standard nut as well and then tighten them both together using a wrench. This replacement jam nut is a high-quality part sourced from its original manufacturer. It is compatible with Troy-Bilt, Yard Man, Huskee, MTD, Ryobi, Yard Machines, and Cub Cadet tillers. This part does not ship with any additional hardware.

This is an authentic OEM replacement flange bearing sourced directly from the manufacturer that is a component in many different lawn and garden machines. The flange bearing is used to tightly fit between two connected components. This connection creates an airtight seal. Over time and with normal wear and tear, the flange can become worn and lose the seal. When this happens, the flange will need to be replaced. The flange helps to distribute the weight load in some instances and if it is damaged, the weight would be displaced and could lead to serious energy.Replacement depends on the location of the flange that needs to be replaced. Place the equipment on a flat surface and disconnect the spark plug wire. Take the machine's components off as needed to access the flange and remove it using a pair of pliers. Clean off the components where the bearing was located before installing the new flange bearing. Reassemble the machine using a reverse process.This flange is a heavy-duty part that is sold as an individual item. The flange bearing can be used with lawnmowers and other lawn and garden machines manufactured by Craftsman.
