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. They can remain in place, but with a forgiving connection that can take a beating. The nut size is 3/8, with a thread size of 16. A lock nut will generally last for many years. However, the silicone ring inside will wear down if it’s frequently tightened and loosened. It needs to be replaced when it will no longer reliably remain in place. Generally, this begins as a symptom of slight slippage and worsens as time goes on. Thankfully, whether it’s being used on a snowblower or a lawnmower, this nut is generally straightforward to access. Simply unscrew the old nut, then screw the new nut on until it’s nice and tight. Our flanged lock nuts are genuine OEM MTD nuts, and they are sold individually.
This replacement part is a flat washer, and it is intended for use in different types of lawn equipment. This is a genuine replacement part made by MTD. A flat washer is found in many types of appliances and machinery in general. Typically washers are used to increase the size of any screw's bearing surface area. This in turn reduces the surface pressure applied on the object and allows the entire machine to run smoothly and efficiently. A new washer might be needed if the user notices that the current ones are damaged or missing. Because pressure is often put on the washers it is common that they become stripped overtime. Be sure to purchase the correct amount as many different machines require more than one washers. Be sure to reference the owner's manual for more specific information on how to replace the parts. This is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer and is sold individually.
