The exhaust systems on lawn and garden equipment are just as important as those on a vehicle. They need a good seal to prevent a leak between the carburetor and the exhaust tube, which would allow air leakage that could cause performance issues and loud noise. Over time all exhaust gaskets deteriorate and require a full replacement. It is relatively easy to replace an exhaust gasket and requires only the use of screw drivers, a socket set or a wrench set depending on the device being service. Replacement components such as sockets or screws may also be required during this repair. The gasket surfaces should be cleaned and fully dried before being installed between the carburetor and the exhaust tube. This exhaust gasket works with Toro, Simplicity, Murray and Briggs & Stratton lawnmowers, generators, snowblowers, wood chippers, and lawn tractors. It also works with equipment made by Craftsman, Husqvarna, Cub Cadet, Poulan, Wheel Horse, MTD, Ariens, and more.

There are multiple uses for the 5/16-18 Hex Screw. It is often used with small gasoline-powered yard equipment such as lawn and garden machines. While hex screws such as these may be used in edgers and snowblowers, the most frequent use this screw is in yard tractors. This variety of screw is commonly used in attaching the various appendages of gas-powered equipment to a central operating platform. In particular, these hex screws are used to secure the engine block of power tools to the frame or housing of the equipment. Once in place, these fasteners have an almost unbreakable strength to them. This is so much so the case that often, in order to detach the engine manifold and repair the inner workings of an engine, the bolts must be chiseled or cut loose. In such cases, it is necessary for the bolts to be replaced during reassembly. Manufacturers insist that genuine OEM replacement parts be used in the rebuilding process. These replacement parts were manufactured to the same exacting specifications used to make the original screws. These OEM screws are compatible with equipment made and sold by Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Husky, MTD, Bolens, and Yard Machines.
