This replacement hairpin is a certified OEM part manufactured to match the exact specifications required for use with a wide range of lawn and home appliances. The range of tools that use this clip include lawn mowers, snowblowers, pressure washers, cultivators, grass baggers, and lawn tractors. This hairpin is used to secure a clip that attaches the wheel to an appliance. As this pin is located near the ground, it is easy for an operator to accidentally bash their tool into the side of a tree, rock, or wall and knock the hair pin out of the wheel pin.
