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. It is a genuine or OEM MTD replacement part that measures 5/16-18. It is threaded and requires the use of a wrench. This replacement flange lock nut is sold individually. An MTD bolt carriage may also be needed and is sold separately.

This steering gear is an integral part of the guidance mechanism for riding mowers and lawn tractors. This gear meshes with the turning mechanism of the wheels, connecting the front axle to the steering column. The constant, short diameter turning of riding mowers puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the steering pinion gear as well as the steering plate, causing the teeth of each of these parts to wear out. Over time, the steering will become less responsive until eventually the drive wheels will not respond at all when the steering wheel is turned. This is usually an indication that the steering pinion gear is stripped and must be replaced. Replacing this gear involves removing the nut and bolt that fix the gear to the mowing housing. Often, the bushing that sits beneath the pinion gear also needs to be replaced because of wear, and this is the best time to do that, as well. It's also a good idea to see if the steering plate teeth are also worn, as this is the ideal time to replace it as well. All parts should be replaced with genuine OEM parts, manufactured, as this replacement part is, according the specs of the original part. This pinion gear is compatible with Huskee, Murray, Bolens, Yard Man, Troy-Bilt, MTD, Yard Machine, and Cub Cadet riding mowers. This part 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.

This authentic OEM replacement part is a steering shaft intended to be used on lawn tractors. A steering shaft connects the steering wheel to the rest of the steering mechanism. As a user rotates the steering wheel, the steering shaft also rotates to move the pinion along the steering rack. The more the steering shaft rotates, the more the pinion travels along the rack, and the more the wheels turn in the direction of the steering wheel. Steering shafts most commonly have to be replaced if the steering mechanism becomes worn out or stripped. When this happens, steering will be more difficult and cause strange clunking sounds. The steering wheel may also feel looser than normal and may not recenter after being turned. Leaving a faulty steering shaft unrepaired can lead to accidents. Replacing the steering shaft means detaching the lower deck of the lawn tractor from the upper frame, then removing the steering wheel, adapter, fuel tank, and old steering shaft. This requires a socket wrench set and can is an intermediate-level repair. This part is compatible with MTD, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Yardman, Husky, and Bolens lawn tractors. It ships individually and is sourced from the original manufacturer.

This bearing flange is used on a wide variety of lawnmowers and lawn tractors. Unlike other bearings, the flange bearing is used to ensure the axle assembly stays securely attached to the pivot axle. The purpose of the flange bearing is to make sure the axle is able to move freely and in an effortless manner. The bearing undergoes a large amount of friction and stress while in use, so it can start to wear down.If the lawnmower is showing signs of wear at the flange bearing, it should be replaced. It's a good idea to regularly inspect the part to be sure it is in good shape. To replace the flange bearing, remove the bolt from the steering shaft and remove the old bearing.
