This screw is used on a variety of lawn and garden equipment from many manufacturers. This hex screw is a large bolt that has a six-sided head that can be used to fasten metal to wood or wood to wood. This type of screw is unique from traditional screws because the bolt head needs to be held with a socket while a second wrench is used to tighten or loosen the part. The bolts have a smooth shank and small threads. These screws can break or become damaged and no longer do their job. When that happens, they will need to be replaced. A hex key wrench can be placed into the slot of the screw and turned counterclockwise to loosen up the bolt. The replacement hex screw can then be placed in the original hole to adhere parts together on lawn equipment. This is a genuine replacement OEM screw that is commonly used on Craftsman, Toro, Murray, MTD, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Yard-Man, MasterCut, Cub Cadet, and Huskee lawn mowers, log splitters, snowblowers, chainsaws, tillers, and string trimmers.

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.

A flange nut's unique wide flange design distributes the nut's pressure over the part it is securing. In return, it creates an even fastening surface, which reduces part damage and nut loosening. This one-piece all-metal fastener has a lock nut version that features a protruding circular flange. This drastically increases bearing surface, compatibility either for irregular or oversized holes, and surface tension reduction. Flange lock nuts are the preferred type of fastener for many lawnmower models because it can provide better fastening than regular screws, which are known to loosen under extreme vibration. However, it’s important to know that flange lock nuts are susceptible to wear and tear due to constant vibration exposure. It is essential to replace the broken flange lock nut immediately to prevent serious damage to the lawnmower. The MTD 712-04063 Flange Lock Nut OEM replacement can be used with Craftsman, White Outdoor, Yard Machines, MTD, or Columbia lawnmowers.

This is a flanged lock nut. It’s designed to apply tension, typically on a joint that needs to have a certain amount of flex. As such, it’s mostly used on snowblower chutes and lawnmower handles. They can remain in place, but with a forgiving connection that can take a beating. The nut size is 3/8, with a thread size of 16. A lock nut will generally last for many years. However, the silicone ring inside will wear down if it’s frequently tightened and loosened. It needs to be replaced when it will no longer reliably remain in place. Generally, this begins as a symptom of slight slippage and worsens as time goes on. Thankfully, whether it’s being used on a snowblower or a lawnmower, this nut is generally straightforward to access. Simply unscrew the old nut, then screw the new nut on until it’s nice and tight. Our flanged lock nuts are genuine OEM MTD nuts, and they are sold individually.
The nut-hex flange 5/8-18 features a hex nut with a wide flanged portion at one end. This flange will act as an integrated washer that does not spin.

If any of these nuts are removed from a machine to do other work, it is recommended to replace them with a new nut-hex flange. Check the nuts that are currently on the machine at least once a year. Make sure they are properly tightened and that they are in good condition. Replace them as needed.

A wing knob is an essential but often overlooked piece of equipment used on many gasoline-powered lawn tools. On snowblowers, this versatile connector is used to adjust the exit chute. The knob handle is easily gripped and made of durable plastic, so when wearing mittens or thick gloves, one can still grasp and turn the wing knob.
