A flange nut's unique wide flange design distributes the nut's pressure over the part it is securing. In return, it creates an even fastening surface, which reduces part damage and nut loosening. This one-piece all-metal fastener has a lock nut version that features a protruding circular flange. This drastically increases bearing surface, compatibility either for irregular or oversized holes, and surface tension reduction. Flange lock nuts are the preferred type of fastener for many lawnmower models because it can provide better fastening than regular screws, which are known to loosen under extreme vibration. However, it’s important to know that flange lock nuts are susceptible to wear and tear due to constant vibration exposure. It is essential to replace the broken flange lock nut immediately to prevent serious damage to the lawnmower. The MTD 712-04063 Flange Lock Nut OEM replacement can be used with Craftsman, White Outdoor, Yard Machines, MTD, or Columbia lawnmowers. It is a genuine or OEM MTD replacement part that measures 5/16-18. It is threaded and requires the use of a wrench. This replacement flange lock nut is sold individually. An MTD bolt carriage may also be needed and is sold separately.

A flange lock nut, also known as a flange lock or a lock nut, is created to be used in various types of lawn and garden equipment. This flange lock nut holds other parts in place and, when properly threaded, will resist loosening. Over time, a flange lock nut may begin to weaken and may become loose or break. If it appears to be broken or weak, a replacement is required. Flange locks can be adjusted and uninstalled after use. When replacement is required, you may need a socket set, screwdriver, hacksaw, and butane torch. The socket wrench will loosen the bolt it is connected to, while the torch is used to heat the lock nut. A socket wrench may remove the nut, but sometimes cutting it with a hacksaw is required.

This is a replacement part for select riding mowers designed to ensure smooth rotation for years of use. This part is circular and tapers off into a hexagonal shape to support rotating shafts that create friction inside of machinery. Rotating parts are almost a given in most machinery like riding mowers, so the hex flange bearing provides support in multiple ways to parts such as wheels, rotors, and gears.The hex flange bearing serves two fundamental roles to make machinery run efficiently. For starters, friction will inevitably occur in rotating shafts, so bearings reduce the amount of friction and related wear and tear. The second function of this part is protecting the rotating from damage due to pressure created during operation.This genuine OEM sourced replacement part is intended to be used for lawn tractors from MTD and other yard machines. This part is compatible with manufacturers including Yard Machines, Bolens, Yard Man, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, and Husky. A wrench may be used for an easier replacement installation. This item is available for purchase individually.

This is a reverse cable that is used on many tillers. It's made of durable plastic and metal. The reverse cable is the component in a tool that allows the tiller to help disengage and engage the reverse drive function of the tiller. In some cases, the part will become frayed or broken and must be replaced. The cable also contains delicate connectors that can become damaged. If this occurs, the reverse cable itself will need a replacement. The cable can also become too stretched out and stop working correctly.If the reverse cable for a tiller is broken, stretched out, or otherwise damaged, a pair of pliers will be needed to replace the part. This is a simple repair that only takes a few minutes to handle. The frayed or damaged cable should be removed from the tiller so the new one can be installed in the same place. Before making the replacement, make sure the spark plug wire has been disconnected.This is an authentic OEM replacement component that is directly sourced from the manufacturer. The reverse cable is sold as an individual item. It is designed to be compatible with tillers manufactured by Yard-Man, Craftsman, Huskee, Cub Cadet, MTD, and Yard Machines.

The forward cable is used in yard and garden tillers. It is responsible for engaging the transmission which will cause the tiller to propel forward. It also works to rotate the tines in situations where the bail arm has been pulled toward the handle. If the forward cable starts to come loose or has lost proper tension, it may need to be tightening or replaced. This part will lose tension as time goes on, so making adjustments is part of its regular maintenance. However, a forward cable that is damaged or broken will need to be replaced. Work gloves should be worn when replacing the forward cable. Before replacement, the spark plug cap plug should be removed and the throttle lever needs to be pushed down. Next, remove the throttle lever, throttle cable clip, and then the forward cable. The new part can then be installed and the rest of the components replaced. This forward cable is created for use with Yard Man, Cub Cadet, MTD, Craftsman, Huskee, and Yard Machines tillers.
