Mastercraft Tiller Parts

This is a genuine OEM engine pulley sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on tiller engines and other engines with a pull start. The starter cord is attached to a pulley that has a spring for rewinding the cord after the engine starts. If the engine pulley is damaged due to rust or corrosion and the string won't pull, the engine won't start. The pulley may make screeching or whining sounds when pulled, this is one way to recognize that the pulley is beginning to go bad and should be replaced soon.Before replacing the pulley, make sure the engine is cool and remove the spark plug. Remove the starter housing to access the rope starter and pulley. Disassemble the pulley system and discard the old pulley. Reinstall the new pulley and thread the starter cord back around it. Reassemble the housing and put the spark plugs back so that you can test the starter. This engine pulley is made of heavy-duty steel and sold as an individual unit. It is designed to be compatible with small engines manufactured by Craftsman.

This lock washer is used frequently for a number of applications on power yard equipment. The size, 5/16, is the default for many small engine housing and manifold applications. Lock washers are used with machined bolts to fasten engine blocks to the housing of the equipment being used. The compressed washer is able to handle the constant vibration of the small gasoline engine without losing the seal between the screw or bolt and the housing. Typically these lock washers only need to be replaced when they are misplaced during repairs or when the screws that attach them have to be chiseled or cut away, meaning the washers are destroyed as well. These OEM certified replacement washers have been manufactured to the same specifications as the originals they are replacing. In addition to lawn mowers, lock washers of this type and size are frequently used on blowers, lawn tractors, cultivators, snowblowers, and trimmers. Brands compatible with this type of washer are Murray, Husky, Poulan, Bolens, Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, MTD, and Ryobi.

This is a bushing made from black plastic with a cleft down the middle to provide enough flex for easy insertion. It has a flanged design, which means it won’t easily pop out after installation, even under stress from constant vibration. The bushing’s primary purpose is to protect wires and cables from damage as they pass through a channel. As such, the material is fairly durable and does not need to be replaced under ordinary circumstances. That said, there are some situations in which it can become damaged. For one thing, it’s easy to damage while repairing the wires or cables that run through the bushing. If the bushing does need to be replaced, it requires disconnecting any cables or wires that run through the bushing. Pop out the old bushing with a rubber mallet, install the new bushing the same way, reconnect the wires, and the repair is complete. This is an OEM part sourced directly from MTD, and it is sold individually. It was initially used on snowblowers but has also been used on lawnmowers and lawn tractors.
