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 is a replacement belt that can be used on select edger/trimmer models of lawn and garden equipment. This is the main drive belt that is responsible for driving the trimmer blades. Belts are made of rubber and exposed to constant and repetitive motion, which can cause them to stretch or wear out over time. Eventually, they may become so loose or damaged that they will not be able to drive the blades and will need to be replaced. Without a properly functioning drive belt, the trimmer blades will not work. A genuine replacement part like this provides an exact fit for compatible units.

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.

This ball bearing is made of durable metal and fits in between a spacer and a washer to prevent excessive friction and heat between different parts of lawn and garden equipment. If the bearing retainer or the ball wears out, it can cause problems with turning the wheel on a lawnmower or other equipment. The balls take the load and spin to distribute weight evenly while avoiding friction so the tool can run smoothly.Ball bearings experience wear constantly when a machine is being used, so they can start to wear out or experience problems. The heat, vibration, pressure, and friction will start to wear them down. Because of that, ball bearings often need maintenance or replacement. To replace the ball bearings, remove the wheels and the height adjuster, if present. Take out the old bearing holders and remove the bearings. Put the new ones in and reassemble the machine.This is an authentic OEM replacement ball bearing directly sourced from the manufacturer. It is sold as an individual item.
