This genuine OEM part is a compression spring for a lawnmower. The compression spring is the spring that holds the mower deck onto the lawnmower. Over time, the compression spring can become degraded due to excessive wear and tear. If it is no longer securing the mower deck, it will need to be replaced. Luckily, replacing this part is a relatively simple process.To replace the spring, make sure the mower deck is set to the lowest position. Locate the old retainer spring and pull it out and away from the mower. Once removed, slide the new spring into its proper position. Make sure it fits tightly, and the mower deck is secured. Once secured, power the mower to see if the spring stays in place during operation. If it does, then the installation was a success. This replacement part is sold individually and is compatible with MTD brand lawnmowers.

This is a metal connecting rod that attaches the rear debris guard to the tiller frame, keeping the guard properly positioned during operation. It ensures the guard stays in place to deflect dirt and debris kicked up by the tines. Replace this rod if it is bent, broken, or missing, which can cause the rear guard to hang loosely or fall off during use.
