This hubcap is an authentic OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on log splitter and chipper wheels. The hubcap covers the central opening of the wheel assembly. This prevents dirt and debris from getting into the wheel assembly. If the hubcap comes off during use or is lost when replacing tires, a new one should be installed. The machine will work without a hubcap; however, the interior wheel assembly will be open to flying debris and could be damaged if rocks or large limbs go into the wheel assembly. During routine inspection and maintenance, the hub caps should be checked for damage and to make sure they are in place.The hubcap is easily removed and replaced with a screwdriver needed to pry the old hubcap off if it is still on the machine. The new hubcap simply snaps into place. This hubcap is made of high-quality metal and is sold individually. This hubcap is designed to be used with log splitters and chippers manufactured by MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy Bilt, Husky, and Yard-Man.

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.

Shoulder screws are a type of fastener used in many types of lawn and garden equipment. Also called stripper bolts or shoulder bolts, they have a head, threads, and an unthreaded shoulder. These screws are used in areas where items need to be held together in a specific location. They can be used with bearings, bushings, and machinery support. Shoulder screws are made of durable metal but can still experience breakage or damage. When this occurs, the screws will need to be replaced. A wrench can be used to remove the damaged shoulder screw. First, visually inspect the shoulder screw to look for damage or corrosion. Sometimes, the screw will be entirely broken. If any of these things are present, a wrench can be used to remove the old shoulder screw. The same tool can be used to insert a new shoulder screw before reassembling the equipment.Designed for lawnmowers, lawn tractors, tillers, leaf blowers, chainsaws, log splitters, chipper shredders, and snowblowers, this part is compatible with items from Yard Machines, MTD, Cub Cadet, Craftsman, Toro, Huskee, Montgomery Wards, Yard-Man, MasterCut, and Troy-Bilt. The locknut is sold separately.
