Murray Log Splitter Fastener

This flat washer is used to attach the idler pulley in a number of small and medium sized gasoline powered engines. These engines include snow blowers, log splitters, riding mowers, lawn tractors, and chippers. Because the idler pulley is subject to a great deal of resistance when the pulley is engaged, eventually the pulley will wear out. Should there be a squealing sound when engaging the drive, the problem is likely the idler pulley. In these cases, the pulley must be replaced. It is a good idea to replace the surrounding hardware when replacing the idler pulley; tNhis includes the flat washer, which is subject to corrosion during heavy use. To replace the idler pulley, first detach the spark plug cap. If on a mower or tractor, drop the mower deck. Remove the original pulley and install in order: replacement pulley, hex bolt, flat washer, flange nut. Apart from dropping the mower deck, the only tools required to complete this installation may be a 9/16 ratchet and combination wrench. This washer is a genuine OEM replacement part, designed to perfectly replicate the original piece. This washer is compatible with Troy-Bilt, Yard Man, Yard Machines, MTD, and Craftsman devices.

This genuine MTD shoulder screw is an OEM replacement for use on select MTD machines and outdoor power equipment. The shoulder screw has several applications depending on the exact model of equipment, although it is often used to hold handles in place on push mowers. These screws can become worn or get lost over time, necessitating a replacement. It's important to always use genuine OEM parts when making a replacement on outdoor power equipment. This OEM shoulder screw is manufactured to exact standards by MTD and designed to work with several machines that are manufactured by the brand, along with select models from other outdoor power brands. It is sold as an individual unit, and those who need more than one will have to purchase additional quantities. This part can generally be replaced with minimal effort and won't usually require much disassembly. Gloves should be worn for safety whenever working on outdoor equipment, and it may be a good idea to disconnect the spark plug, as well.
