Mtd Gold String Trimmer Parts

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.

A ball bearing is a common type of rolling-element bearing. It will use balls to keep space between the bearing races and eliminate friction and contact between moving parts. Ball bearings used in lawn and garden equipment ensure that axial loads and radial loads are evenly supported and that there is only a limited amount of rotational friction on the component. It distributes weight evenly, but will undergo constant wear and tear from vibration, heat, and friction and will need replacement regularly. This ball bearing is a genuine OEM part suited to use in Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Ryobi, Troy-Bilt, MTD, Huskee, Yard Machines, Bolens, Mastercut, and Yard-Man equipment. It may be needed for repair work done on a lawnmower, snowblower, tiller, edger, or a log splitter.

This recoil spring and pulley assembly is used in a variety of small gasoline engines that power devices such as mowers, lawn tractors, and log splitters, among other yard and landscaping devices. The assembly works by tightly coiling the spring in the starter housing. When the starter rope is pulled, the tension on the spring is suddenly released, creating a spark that fires the air/fuel mixture. The combustion starts the engine. The constant tightening and releasing of the tension at times will cause wear on the spring, resulting in the need to replace the spring and pulley assembly. To replace the recoil starter assembly, begin by removing the housing. Next, untie or starter rope and check to see if it is frayed and needs to be replaced as well. Remove the old assembly and install the new unit. Remember when re-tensioning the spring to wind the pulley in the opposite direction. Holding the pulley tightly so the spring does not release, attach the cap. Reattach the rope and coil it around the pulley. It is advisable to wear gloves for this task because the pulley and springs have sharp edges. This OEM certified replacement assembly is compatible with Yard-Man, Husky, Cub Cadet, MTD, Yard Machines, and Troy-Bilt yard equipment.

This is a metal tappet that is used with many types of lawn equipment with small motors. The tappet is a component that attaches to the push rod. Tappets take the rotating motion provided by the camshaft and transfer it into linear motion so the valves operate properly. Over time, the tappet can break or become damaged and will require replacement.When replacing a tappet, users will need a set of pliers. It's best to wear work gloves during the process and make sure the spark plug wire is disconnected. Items like the mufflers, crankcase breather, and other parts will need to be removed to access the tappet. A visual inspection of the tappets can be done by removing them from the engine to check for damage. Remove the old tappet and replace it with a new part.This tappet is an authentic OEM replacement part that is directly sourced from the manufacturer. It is sold as an individual component. The tappet is made for use with lawnmowers, tillers, string trimmers, edgers, log splitters, and wood chippers manufactured by Cub Cadet, Craftsman, Yard-Man, and MTD.
