This particular air cleaner filter is made for gasoline-powered trimmers. If any piece of lawn equipment kicks up more dust and particulate than a lawn mower, it is a trimmer. Trimmer line, unlike a mower, does not maintain a constant angle. Because trimmers are also frequently used as edgers, they fill the air with dust and debris. While air cleaner filters are made of durable material, they eventually become clogged with yard waste to the point that they simply cannot be cleaned. Users know that this is happening when the trimmer will not run smoothly, or it cannot be started at all when no other problem is indicated. The filter is replaced by removing the back cover and discarding the old filter. Before putting it in place, work a few drops of two-cycle oil into the new filter. This will help the foam capture more airborne pollutants. Reverse the process to install the new filter. When the time comes to replace the air cleaner filter, it is imperative that the new filter be an OEM certified part that has been manufactured to the same specifications as the original.This part may be used on string trimmers, tillers, and leaf blowers by Craftsman, Ryobi, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Bolens, and Yard-Man.

This is a carburetor replacement designed for use on select lawn and garden equipment engines. The carburetor is responsible for taking in the air and fuel and creating the mixture of the two before sending them to the engine. The fuel and air are mixed in the inner chamber, and then passed onto the engine through a series of valves and diaphragms. Over time, the exposure to high heat, constant vibrations, and fuel can cause the various components of the carburetor to wear and need to be replaced. In some cases, it's best to replace the entire module rather than trying to replace individual components. The carburetor replacement is a genuine OEM product manufactured by RYOBI and designed for use in equipment from RYOBI, Bolens, Huskee, MTD, Yard Man, and Yard Machines. The carburetor assembly can be used with select gas-powered edger/trimmer models and blowers. It is sold as a complete assembly and includes one carburetor unit per purchase. Always drain the fuel system and allow the engine to cool completely before doing any work. To replace the carburetor, the rear cover and fuel lines will need to be removed and replaced once the old unit has been taken out and the new one replaced.

This is a genuine replacement for MTD engines in select models of lawn and garden equipment. The carburetor gasket is situated between the carburetor body and the engine to provide a secure seal to keep air from leaking out. The engine needs proper compression to run and that is ensured by gaskets and seals like this one. Over time, however, these are exposed to constant heat and pressure and can shrink or become damaged as a result. Replacing gaskets is typically considered a part of routine maintenance on most equipment. Gaskets should be replaced immediately when they fail, and inspected any time work is done on the carburetor. This OEM carburetor gasket is designed to work with more than 150 different models of blowers, trimmers, cultivators, and edgers. It can be used in products from brands like MTD, RYOBI, Bolens, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Husky, Yard Man, and Yard Machines. The gasket is made of durable metal material and is sold as a single unit. Hardware is not included with this item. Be sure to cool the engine before performing repairs and drain the fuel system to prevent leaks and spills when working on the carburetor and its components.

A carburetor may dry up after prolonged periods of inactivity, causing problems starting the engine. If this happens, the carburetor will need to be primed. Priming is adding fuel to the carburetor. Most lawnmowers have a priming bulb so you don't have to pour gas into the carburetor manually. This component is usually a small rubber button, which suctions fuel from the tank. To activate it, simply press it several times. If it fails to draw fuel, then a primer bulb may be needed. Primer bulbs can deteriorate due to old age, repeated use, and exposure to chemicals and the environment. For worry-free machine compatibility, choose this Primer Bulb & Hose Assembly made by MTD. It will work with trimmers, leaf blowers, and string trimmers from MTD, Bolens, Yard-Man, Craftsman, Ryobi, and Huskee. The assembly comes with one primer bulb and one hose. Extra fuel lines are available but sold separately.

This is an OEM replacement crankcase gasket for use in select MTD lawn and garden equipment engines. The crankcase gasket is responsible for creating a seal between the crankcase and the carburetor mount. This prevents air and fuel from leaking out or getting oil mixed into the carburetor.

Then, the entire unit can be reassembled and it will be ready to go.

A carburetor needs fuel to produce the required combustible mixture of air and gas. To get fuel, the carburetor draws the liquid directly from the fuel tank. Any excess fuel will be returned to the tank through the fuel return hose or fuel return line. In addition to providing the path, a fuel line is also responsible for preventing over-pressurization, as well as vapor lock. A fuel return line is constructed from a thick rubber material that is also fuel resistant. However, it may still become brittle and crack due to regular wear and tear. Usually, a broken fuel return hose results in symptoms such as engine misfires, loss of power, carburetor flooding, fuel leaks, and hard starting. A brand-new replacement is available here. This fuel line return is an original part from MTD. It measures 3.78 x 3.78 x 0.016 and is compatible with tillers, leaf blowers, and string trimmers made by Craftsman, Ryobi, Yard Machines, MTD, Bolens, and Yard-Man. Installation will require a screwdriver, cutters, and pliers. This fuel line return is sold individually.

A lawnmower’s fuel line or a fuel hose brings the fuel from the tank to the carburetor. It is made of durable translucent plastic material. When pushing the primer bulb, the gas from the tank will travel through the fuel line and to the carburetor. Once there is enough fuel, any excess will go to the return line and into the tank. Fuel lines are made from sturdy rubber or plastic. Over time the fuel line can crack and begin to leak. There are few symptoms of a broken fuel hose. One of the easiest ways to tell is if the hose has visible exterior cracks. Other warning signs include fuel smell and fuel leaks. Installing a new fuel line is easy and doesn't require any tools. Detach the old fuel pipe and insert the new replacement. This MTD 791-682039 Fuel Line Assembly OEM Replacement is an original four fuel line assembly compatible with Yard Machines, Yard-man, Ryobi, and Bolens. This replacement fuel line does not include the primer bulb and fuel return line. You need to purchase these parts separately.

This recoil spring is used as part of the starting mechanism for gasoline power tools such as cultivators, leaf trimmers, edgers, power vacuums, and blowers. These devices do not use battery-powered starters and thus must rely on magneto armatures and rope pulls. The recoil spring is attached to the rope pull and returns the rope to its proper place after being pulled. The coil spring receives a tremendous amount of torque again and again over time, and through aging and stretching, the spring will become inoperable and need to be replaced. Signs the recoil spring has weakened include a slackened pull from the starter rope that does not allow the engine to start or an absolutely slack pull rope. Replacing the recoil spring is a matter of detaching the pull rope and removing the starter housing. Remember to wind the pull rope around the new coil spring to allow the proper amount and length of rope. It will have to be steadied in place as the starter housing is refastened. Always use a genuine OEM replacement part, such as this one, in order to get parts that are identical to the originals. The coil is compatible with tools branded by Cub Cadet, Yard-Man, Ryobi, Bolens, MTD, and Yard Machines.

This replacement part is a rope guide, and it is intended for use in different types of lawn equipment. This is a genuine replacement part made by MTD. This rope guide allows the user to pull start the engine. The rope is connected to the transmission inside the engine that allows it to be turned off and on when desired. A new rope guide might be needed if the current one is damaged or missing. If the user is unable to start the lawn mower, then the rope guide might not be connected and should be replaced. Be sure that the engine is completely powered off while attempting this repair as this part is close to the engine inside the appliance. This part is sold individually and is a genuine OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer to ensure proper fit in all appliances. Reference the owner's manual for more specific guidance.

This starter rope is made for use with many types of lawn and garden equipment, such as string trimmers and leaf blowers. The rope wraps around the starter pulley and can be pulled manually to cause the engine to start running. With wear and tear through use, the starter rope can start to fray. If the rope isn't replaced when fraying, it can also break and render the equipment no longer usable until a replacement part has been installed.The most common symptom of a broken or worn starter rope is an issue when trying to start the engine. The rope will be pulled, and the rope will keep coming out of the machine instead of turning on the engine. Before replacing the starter rope, remove the spark plug wire to prevent the engine from starting. The starter rope can be removed and a new component installed in its place.This is an authentic OEM replacement part that is sourced directly from the manufacturer.

This is the clutch drum that houses the clutch that engages the power tools on more than 50 gasoline-powered lawn and landscape devices. The clutch sits inside this housing, which enables it to rotate. When the RPMs of the engine reach a certain point, the clutch expands and causes the drive shaft of the tool to engage. Among the different kinds of equipment that use this clutch housing are cultivators, edgers, and grass trimmers. The clutch, and therefore the clutch drum, receive a great deal of wear for several reasons: the vibration of the engine, the rapid up and down change of engine revolutions, and resistance met by the tools that are transferred back to the clutch and housing. Signs that the clutch is failing include a slow response to increased engine RPMs and an inability for the power tool to engage the drive shaft. In these cases, the clutch and housing should be replaced in order for the equipment to operate properly again. When choosing a clutch housing, it is important to select one that, like this one, is a genuine OEM certified part. This housing is compatible with Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, MTD, Bolens, Yard-Man, and Ryobi equipment.

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.
