Cub Cadet String Trimmer Parts

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. An MTD bolt carriage may also be needed and is sold separately.

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.

A bump head knob is a part of a string trimmer. When the trimmer is tapped against the ground or any hard surface, it will let out more line.

This fuel line hose is an authentic OEM replacement part for various lawn mowers, tractors, and snow blowers. The fuel line is responsible for carrying fuel from the fuel tank to the carburetor. It is made of a thick vinyl rubber material and clamps onto the exterior of the lawn appliance.

This is a flanged lock nut. It’s designed to apply tension, typically on a joint that needs to have a certain amount of flex. As such, it’s mostly used on snowblower chutes and lawnmower handles.

The O-ring is designed to create a seal in the carburetor to ensure optimal performance and prevent leaks. It is also designed to help create the right amount of pressure.

This genuine OEM replacement part is an extension spring for a Craftsman snowblower idler pulley assembly. The idler pulley attaches to a part of the snowblower's housing and is helps to transfer energy throughout the belt drive. This extension spring helps to redistribute some of the back-and-forth motion created in the pulley as the snowblower runs. This keeps the assembly from shifting out of place and potentially slipping. This extension spring is attached at two points and, if pulled in both directions too far, can eventually lose some of its tension. When this happens, the idler assembly can begin to shake and even slip out of place. Replacing the extension spring is an easy job that will only require a socket wrench to remove the idler pulley. A pair of pliers may help to remove the spring from its clips. This part is only compatible with Craftsman snowblowers and is sourced from its original manufacturer. It ships individually and any additional parts needed will have to be purchased separately.
