Description
This part is a replacement foam handle grip for lawn mowers and tillers. It is a piece of foam that fits over the metal handle of the lawn mower or tiller. The foam handle grip provides cushioning for the person operating the equipment. Using a lawn mower or tiller with a worn or missing foam handle grip can cause hand discomfort, blistering, fatigue, and more. The foam grip may wear out, crack, or tear over time or with heavy use. The foam handle grip may also degrade through exposure to extreme weather conditions, such as heat, rain, wind, and cold. A visual inspection can help determine whether it is time to replace the foam handle grip. If the foam handle grip is worn, cracking, or torn, it should be replaced. To replace the foam handle grip, take apart the handle of the lawn mower or tiller. Then, remove the old grip. Finally, lubricate the handle or the inside of the new grip. This will make it easier to get the new grip onto the handle. Once the new grip is in place, reassemble the handle of the lawn mower or tiller. This foam handle grip is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is sold individually. It is compatible with lawn mowers and tillers made by Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Ryobi, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Yard-Man, and MasterCut.
