Parts for Troy-Bilt 12194: Handlebars / Wheel Gear Parts

This is a genuine replacement bolt that is designed specifically for use on select lawn tractors. This tractor bolt is a specialty piece of hardware designed for use on the steering segment gear. This screw holds the gear in place and is exposed to constant vibrations and repetitive motion as a result. Over time, that can result in damage, wear, or even total breakage of the bolt and require a replacement. If the bolt isn't functional or is missing, the steering segment gear will not be secured and that can lead to further damage if left unattended. Using a genuine replacement part like this will guarantee an exact fit for compatible models. This genuine OEM gear bolt is manufactured by MTD. It is compatible with lawn and garden equipment from RYOBI, HUSKEE, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Yard Machines, Yard Man, and Cub Cadet, along with select models from MTD. The bolt works for more than 100 compatible models. It is made of durable metal and sold as an individual unit. A wrench or socket will be required to replace this part. Always wear gloves when performing repairs on lawn and garden equipment and allow the engine to cool before doing any work.

It is not uncommon for screws to become stripped down or lodged in place after years of normal use. If this is the case they should be replaced as soon as possible. If the screw is lodged in place, pliers might be required on top of a screwdriver to complete this repair. This part is sold individually and is sourced directly from the manufacturer.

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 replacement part is a cotter pin. It is a genuine replacement part made by MTD. Cotter pins are also sometimes known as clevis pins and are responsible for fastening two metals together. This allows the machine to work properly and operate smoothly. A new cotter pin might be needed if the current ones are damaged in any way or even missing. This part is small so it can be misplaced after years of normal wear and tear. It is possible that this part become stripped or lodged in place over time. The repair should be fairly easy and only require common tools. Be sure the engine is completely powered down before beginning this repair. This pin is sold individually. This is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer to ensure a proper fit.
