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.
Hex screw that secures components on lawn tractors and outdoor power equipment. Replace if screw is stripped, missing, or damaged during maintenance.
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.
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.
