Parts for Yard Machines 31AE880I372 / 1998: Handle Assembly Parts

Replace worn spring bell washers causing loose parts or rattling noises. This conical washer cushions heavy loads in lawn equipment. Simple DIY fix.

With small gasoline-powered tools that require control panels, this hex screw attaches the panel to the handles of the tools. Machined to be durable, important screws such as these take a real beating. In their locations at critical points on the handle, the hex screws are considered "wear items," and thus periodically, they must be replaced. The control panel itself is often a location of extreme forces, jostling, and abrupt movement in unpredictable directions. The constant movement, with sheet metal rubbing against the hex screws from every direction, make wear inevitable. The manufacturers recommend that spare screws of this type be kept on hand if the heavy use of the equipment is expected. Among the gasoline-powered tools that use these screws are snowblowers, yard tractors, mowers, tiller, chippers, shredders, and other tools requiring hand-maneuvered levers. These screws are compatible with a number of equipment brands and manufacturers, including MTD, Ryobi, Poulan, Yard-Man, Bolens, Troy-Bilt, and Yard Machines.

They will also help to distribute the pressure of the connection and reduce the risk of corrosion. Washers will also provide some protection from damage during installation. Washers could need to be replaced for any number of reasons. In some cases, they might have become corroded or worn down over time. This could mean they no longer provide a solid and secure connection. Other times, the washer could become lost while working on the machine. Owners should always be sure that they replace any lost or damaged washers right away. Not using washers can reduce the lifespan of the machine.

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.
