Murray Edger Parts

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.

A flange lock nut, also known as a flange lock or a lock nut, is created to be used in various types of lawn and garden equipment. This flange lock nut holds other parts in place and, when properly threaded, will resist loosening. Over time, a flange lock nut may begin to weaken and may become loose or break. If it appears to be broken or weak, a replacement is required. Flange locks can be adjusted and uninstalled after use. When replacement is required, you may need a socket set, screwdriver, hacksaw, and butane torch. The socket wrench will loosen the bolt it is connected to, while the torch is used to heat the lock nut. A socket wrench may remove the nut, but sometimes cutting it with a hacksaw is required. This flange lock nut is a genuine OEM component directly from the manufacturer and comes in an individual unit. It is made of metal, a gold color, and can be found in various areas of lawn equipment. It works with lawnmowers, trimmers, snowblowers, cultivators, tillers, and leaf blowers by Poulan, MTD, Toro, Cub Cadet, Murray, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Yard Machines, Craftsman, and Yard-Man.

Installing a brand-new air filter keeps the engine in top running condition. When the machine is in operation, the vacuumed air goes through the air filter. Any dirt or dust is left in the filter media. Over time, the filter will become dirty and can no longer provide the same filtering efficiency as before. If left ignored, the tiny particles could clog the engine and the carburetor. You may experience misfires and no engine start-up. An air filter replacement is cheap and easy to do. Simply remove the air cleaner cover and take out the dirty filter. Insert the new filter into the housing. This replacement will take less than 5 minutes. A screwdriver will be needed. The MTD 951-10298 Air Cleaner Kit is a genuine air filter from MTD. Each kit comes with one paper filter and one foam filter. The foam filter can be cleaned with water and detergent. The paper filter, however, needs replacement at least once a year. This air filter kit is compatible with Cub Cadet, PowerMore, and Troy-Bilt. It can also work with other garden equipment like wheel string trimmers, chipper-shredder vacuums, and log splitters.

A cotter pin is a standard piece of hardware typically used on lawn and garden equipment as a method of securing something to an axle or round shaft. These pins are thin and, although they are durable, they can rust or become damaged over time. In some instances, they can break off or become lost in the process of other repairs. A replacement with the right size and style of cotter pin will ensure that equipment is in working order at all times. This genuine OEM cotter pin replacement can be used with select lawn and garden equipment from MTD, Huskee, Yard Man, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Cub Cadet, and Murray. It can be used on lawn tractors, log splitters, chipper/shredder units, and snowblowers.

This cotter pin is sold individually and may require needle nose pliers to replace.

This is a shoulder screw that is used to secure the handles of yard equipment. Typically, this screw is used with a matching wing nut, which is sold separately. Many different varieties of push lawn mowers have handles that fold downward for ease of storage. This is one of the locations on a mower where one will find shoulder bolts and the point at which these bolts are most likely wear out. While they are made of durable machined metal, shoulder bolts receive a great deal of wear, particularly from the handles being raised and lowered each time the mower is used. When pushing down on the mower to clear wet grass clippings or to make sharp turns with the mower, the entire weight of the mower is put on the two shoulder screws where they intersect. Since the metal of the handles can turn at that juncture, extra shearing action is put on the shoulder bolts, which can wear out. It is actually advantageous that the bolts wear out since otherwise, the handles themselves would warp and break apart. These OEM genuine replacement parts fit a number of different lawn and garden machines, including many made by Cub Cadets, Husky, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, Yard-Man, Bolens, MTD, and Yard-Machines.

This flange lock nut is a metal component used in many types of lawn and garden equipment. It is the part that attaches to the rear wheel to keep it steady on any kind of terrain. It can also be used on handles and chutes for some equipment. The nut size is 3/8 and it has a thread size of 16. Most flange lock nuts will last for years. In some cases, the silicone ring inside the nut will wear down when it is loosened and tightened. When this happens, the flange lock nut will start to move around. It can start as minor slippage but often gets worse over time. It will need to be replaced but this is a simple task. Regardless of what equipment it is attached to, it simply needs to be unscrewed. Take off the old nut and replace it with the new one. This flange lock nut is an authentic OEM product that is sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually.

This lock washer is used frequently for a number of applications on power yard equipment. The size, 5/16, is the default for many small engine housing and manifold applications. Lock washers are used with machined bolts to fasten engine blocks to the housing of the equipment being used. The compressed washer is able to handle the constant vibration of the small gasoline engine without losing the seal between the screw or bolt and the housing. Typically these lock washers only need to be replaced when they are misplaced during repairs or when the screws that attach them have to be chiseled or cut away, meaning the washers are destroyed as well. These OEM certified replacement washers have been manufactured to the same specifications as the originals they are replacing. In addition to lawn mowers, lock washers of this type and size are frequently used on blowers, lawn tractors, cultivators, snowblowers, and trimmers. Brands compatible with this type of washer are Murray, Husky, Poulan, Bolens, Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, MTD, and Ryobi.

This is a replacement part for select riding mowers designed to ensure smooth rotation for years of use. This part is circular and tapers off into a hexagonal shape to support rotating shafts that create friction inside of machinery. Rotating parts are almost a given in most machinery like riding mowers, so the hex flange bearing provides support in multiple ways to parts such as wheels, rotors, and gears.The hex flange bearing serves two fundamental roles to make machinery run efficiently. For starters, friction will inevitably occur in rotating shafts, so bearings reduce the amount of friction and related wear and tear. The second function of this part is protecting the rotating from damage due to pressure created during operation.This genuine OEM sourced replacement part is intended to be used for lawn tractors from MTD and other yard machines. This part is compatible with manufacturers including Yard Machines, Bolens, Yard Man, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, and Husky. A wrench may be used for an easier replacement installation.

This pin snaps into a locked position without tension, keeping it secure during operation. Designed for lawn and garden maintenance equipment, this part ensures secure fastening. If the power equipment is used frequently, cotter pins may have to be replaced regularly so it would be practical to keep extra bow tie cotter pins on hand. It is highly recommended that work gloves be worn during the installation of this part. This part is compatible with Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Murray, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Bolens, Yard-Man, and MasterCut brands of lawn mower, snowblower, and log splitters.

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.

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. On many lawn mowers, the wing knob is used to secure and adjust the handle to the mower or, with mowers that have folding handles, to lower and store the handle for ease of transporting the mower. While it does not seem that one would ever need to replace a wing knob, these fasteners may be lost when mowers are moved from one lawn to another or when the mowers are being stored until the next growing season. On rare occasions, the threads in a wing knob can be stripped if they are not turned tightly enough when first fastened after unbending mower handles. These devices are inexpensive and virtually universal, so it is wise to keep an extra wing knob on hand in case one becomes lost. The wing knobs fit Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, Bolens, and Yard Machine mowers and snowblowers. Made of durable plastic, these OEM knobs are genuine manufactured replacement parts that perfectly match the originals.
