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.

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.

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.

The recoil starter assembly starts the engine by using the grip to pull the rope, which activates the starter pulley and spring, causing the flywheel to rotate and start the engine.

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.

If fuel is leaking, the cap doesn’t fit right, or the cap seems damaged, it’s best to replace it with a new component. This is a simple process that involves removing the original fuel cap assembly and fitting the new assembly to the lawn machine. This fuel cap assembly is a genuine OEM component that comes directly from the manufacturer. It is an individual part that is compatible with MTD, Murray, Cub Cadet, Bolens, Yard-Man, and Yard Machines lawnmowers, snowblowers, chipper shredders, and tillers.
