The replacement flat washer here is a part commonly found on many types of small engines, including those in lawn and garden equipment.

The push pins are sold separately. This is an authentic OEM replacement flat washer that is sold individually.

This washer is a genuine MTD replacement part for lawn and garden appliances that are operated by small engines, such as lawn tractors, snowblowers, chipper shredders, leaf blowers, and lawn mowers. The purpose of a washer is to protect and insulate nuts, bolts, and other types of fasteners, preventing these fasteners from gradually loosening. A washer will have to be replaced in the event that it is lost or misplaced, a common occurrence given its extremely small size and its ability to slide off without calling any attention to its absence. Other reasons to replace a washer could include general wear and tear or visible damage in the form of erosion, bending, or cracking metal as a result of overuse or overexposure. If a washer is subject to any of this kind of damage, it should be replaced immediately to avoid nuts and bolts coming loose and separating the materials that they protect and hold together. Remember that gloves must always be worn when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This washer part is compatible with the brands MTD, Yard Machines, Cub Cadet, and Yard Man.

This muffler stud is an OEM part directly sourced from the manufacturer. The muffler stud connects the muffler to the body of the machine. Over time, stress and tension can cause these muffler studs to become loose or even fall out and become lost. Rust and corrosion due to rain and snow can also cause the muffler studs to become loose. When this happens, the studs should be replaced immediately to prevent the muffler from becoming loose or possibly coming off. If the studs are loose and the connection to the machine's engine is not secure, the machine's noise may become louder, or it could emit smoke.If the studs are loose or broken, make sure the engine has cooled down before installing new studs. Use a wrench to tighten loose muffler studs. If the studs are missing, install new ones and tighten them with the wrench. While installing the new studs, it is good to inspect the muffler for holes or damage that may reduce the performance. These muffler studs are made of high-quality steel and are sold individually. These are made to be compatible with tillers and other small engines manufactured by Cub Cadet, MTD, and Yard Machines.

This is a genuine OEM clamp sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is used in various lawn and garden machines to connect hoses to fittings. It is used to connect piping to water pumps, exhaust pipes to exhaust manifolds, and other similar applications. This connection prevents fluids or air from leaking from the hose. Clamps may be spring or screw/band clamps. Spring clamps require no tools to install and remove; however, the size must be more accurate than when using screw/band clamps. Screw/band clamps are adjustable and can be tightened or loosened. Screw clamps should be inspected periodically to ensure tightness and that the clamps have not rusted.Hose clamps are installed approximately 1/4 inch below the end of the hose. If two clamps are used, there should be 1/4 inch between the two bands. When using a screw clamp, loosen the screw with a screwdriver just enough to fit the clamp over the hose. If using a spring clamp, squeeze the clamp and hold it open. Slide the clamp over the hose and then attach the hose and clamp to the fitting. Slide the clamp into place at the joint and tighten. Do not overtighten. This brass-colored clamp is a spring clamp made of metal; it is sold as an individual unit. This clamp is compatible with many different types of pipes made by various manufacturers.
