This is a genuine replacement self-tapping hex screw with a blunt nose designed for lawn mowers and lawn tractors. It is used in a variety of locations for the engine assembly of lawn mowers. The self-tapping feature allows the metal screw threads to tightly secure to other metal. The blunt nose requires the use of a pre-drilled pilot hole smaller than the diameter of the screw. These screws do not interchange well. Be sure to check the owner's manual to ensure the correct part number. The hex head needs a socket wrench for the easiest removal and replacement. When removing this type of screw, stripped threads can occur. If this happens, use a screw of the same type in a slightly larger size to accommodate for the damage. Typically, this type of screw would need to be replaced when removed to access another part of the lawn mower for replacement, such as the carburetor. This an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer and is sold individually. This screw fits products by Bolens, Brute, Columbia, County Line, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Huskee, Huskee Supreme, MTD Black, MTD Gold, Mastercut, Murray, Troy Bilt, Yard Man, & Yard Machines.
