Parts for Craftsman 247298780: Engine Parts

This lock washer is used frequently for a number of applications on power yard equipment. The size, 5/16, is the default for many small engine housing and manifold applications. Lock washers are used with machined bolts to fasten engine blocks to the housing of the equipment being used. The compressed washer is able to handle the constant vibration of the small gasoline engine without losing the seal between the screw or bolt and the housing. Typically these lock washers only need to be replaced when they are misplaced during repairs or when the screws that attach them have to be chiseled or cut away, meaning the washers are destroyed as well. These OEM certified replacement washers have been manufactured to the same specifications as the originals they are replacing. In addition to lawn mowers, lock washers of this type and size are frequently used on blowers, lawn tractors, cultivators, snowblowers, and trimmers. Brands compatible with this type of washer are Murray, Husky, Poulan, Bolens, Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, MTD, and Ryobi.

Hex lock nut for lawn mowers and outdoor power equipment. Secures blade assemblies, wheels, and components. Replace if stripped, corroded, or missing.

An idler pulley is an essential part of many small and medium sized gasoline powered tools. This idler pulley is used in equipment such as tillers, lawn tractors, log splitters, edgers, snow blowers, and trimmers. The idler pulley is necessary so that the engine can run without the tool's moving parts being engaged. For instance, a lawn tractor running without the cutting blades turning or the wheels rolling. Once the idler pulley is engaged, the blade begins to turn. There is a great deal of resistance encountered by the idler pulley each time the equipment's tools begin to turn. Over time, the pulley can become worn and will eventually need to be replaced. If there is a squealing sound whenever the moving parts of a lawn tool are engaged, it is probably a sign that the idler pulley is about to fail. The pulley itself is attached to the engine housing with 9/16 hex bolts and requires an adjustable wrench and 9/16 ratchet to remove and replace. Always use a genuine OEM manufactured replacement part such as this one when replacing the original, as this part is identical to the original. This part is compatible with equipment manufactured by Bolens, MTD, Cub Cadet, Huskee, and Troy Bilt.

Hex screw fastener for securing lawn mower components. Replace if stripped, rusted, or missing to ensure proper assembly and equipment stability.

This ball detent is a genuine MTD replacement part for appliances operated by small engines, including lawn tractors, lawn mowers, snowblowers, leaf blowers, chipper shredders, and tillers. The function of a ball detent is to temporarily keep two parts in place relative to one another, as one or both of the parts rotate.A ball detent might have to be replaced in the event that it suffers damage over time or is lost or misplaced. It is possible for ball detents to fall out of their spot, meaning that the parts that it ordinarily holds in place will not be able to rotate properly. Additionally, a ball detent might have to be replaced if there is material deterioration. If this occurs, a replacement ball detent part should be ordered and secured to the small engine appliance immediately. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This ball detent is compatible with the following brands: MTD, Yard Man, Yard Machines, and Troy-Bilt.

Detent shaft spring for lawn tractors and tillers. Replaces worn, broken, or missing springs. Installs on the shift mechanism shaft assembly.

This ball bearing assembly has a wide variety of uses in a number of gasoline-powered yard tools. Bearings are used to provide smooth, friction-free motion between the rotating parts of equipment where pieces fit together and move. The weight and momentum of the rotating motion are distributed to the ball bearings, which prevents wear on the equipment and allows smooth, repetitive motion. Ball bearings are used in equipment such as tillers and lawn tractors, as well as other power equipment that is self-propelled. The bearings will wear out over time since they are on the receiving end of all the angular momentum of the equipment being used. One of the chief locations where bearing assemblies need to be replaced are the drive wheels of the riding mowers and lawn tractors. The bearings are located in brass housings specifically machined to hold them. Since it can be difficult to remove the old ball bearing assemblies from these housings, it is worth considering simply replacing the entire housing as well as the bearing. These bearings are genuine OEM manufactured replacement parts. They are compatible with MTD, Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Husky, Cub Cadet, and Yard Machine lawn tools.

The hex head self-tapping screws are designed for a number of applications in lawn and garden equipment, primarily holding machinery and engine parts together. Over time, screws can become stripped, fall out, or otherwise get damaged, resulting in a need for replacement. When replacing screws and other hardware, always be sure to disengage or disable any power supply to reduce the risk of shock or other injuries. The self-tapping screw makes it easy to replace, and the fact that they are manufacturer-guaranteed ensures a perfect fit for compatible machines. This OEM self-tapping screw is compatible with several machines from RYOBI, MTD, Husky, Cub Cadet, Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, and Yard Machines. It can be found in lawnmowers and tractors and can be in multiple locations, depending on the exact model. This screw is sold as a single piece; order multiple quantities if needed.

This hex bolt is a necessary component used in a variety of small to medium sized gasoline powered engines used primarily in yard work, gardening, and landscaping. The primary use of this hex bolt is to secure the idler pulley assembly to the body of the machine. The idler pulley functions to engage the turning mechanism of the yard tool when engaged. The power yard tools that require an idler pulley which would use this screw are tillers, riding mowers, yard tractors, tillers, snow blowers and chippers. Engaging the rotating part of the yard tool places a great deal of resistance on the idler pulley, which may eventually result in it needing to be replaced. When replacing the idler pulley assembly, it's important to remember that the attaching hardware, such as the hex bolt, has also experienced a great deal of wear and should be replaced as well. This hex bolt attaches the idler pulley assembly directly to the machine housing and can be removed with a 9/16 wrench. Make sure when replacing the bolt to use a genuine OEM manufactured part that is identical to the manufacturer's original piece. This bolt is compatible with the following brands: Yard-Man, Bolens, Craftsman, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Huskee, Ryobi, Murray, MTD, MasterCut, and Montgomery Wards.
