Log Splitter Parts

Cotter pins are simple but very effective fasteners used primarily to hold wheels in place on mowers. This is particularly true of the front wheels on riding mowers. Cotter pins are very light and can become overly pliable after extensive use. In some cases, the front wheels of a mower, which are the guide wheels that steer the device, become difficult to manage. The cure for this situation is often simply the replacement of the cotter pins that are not holding the guide wheels adequately in place. Before attempting to remove the pins, it is essential that the spark plug boot is moved so that the mower cannot be started. This is an important safety step because the repairer will be getting under the mower near the blades. The back wheels should be blocked so the mower cannot move, then the front end placed up on blocks. Remove the mower's hubcaps to gain access to the axle spindles. Straighten the legs of the pin so that when the curved portion of the cotter pin is grasped with pliers and it can be pulled straight back and be removed. The spindle, washers, and wheels should be checked for wear before the new pin is placed and secured. This OEM cotter pin is compatible with Bolens, Yard-Man, Craftsman, Yard Machines, Cub Cadet, Turf King, Troy-Bilt, Huskee, Toro, Ryobi, MTD, MasterCut, Murray, and Montgomery Wards.

This ball bearing assembly has a wide variety of uses in a number of gasoline-powered yard tools. Bearings are used to provide smooth, friction-free motion between the rotating parts of equipment where pieces fit together and move. The weight and momentum of the rotating motion are distributed to the ball bearings, which prevents wear on the equipment and allows smooth, repetitive motion. Ball bearings are used in equipment such as tillers and lawn tractors, as well as other power equipment that is self-propelled. The bearings will wear out over time since they are on the receiving end of all the angular momentum of the equipment being used. One of the chief locations where bearing assemblies need to be replaced are the drive wheels of the riding mowers and lawn tractors. The bearings are located in brass housings specifically machined to hold them. Since it can be difficult to remove the old ball bearing assemblies from these housings, it is worth considering simply replacing the entire housing as well as the bearing. These bearings are genuine OEM manufactured replacement parts. They are compatible with MTD, Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Husky, Cub Cadet, and Yard Machine lawn tools.
