Poulan Power Tools Fastener

This flange nut can be used as a replacement part for snowblowers, lawnmowers, and tillers. Flange nuts fasten materials to one another in conjunction with a bolt. A flange nut is different from a regular nut in that it features a protruded flange on its end that functionally serves as a washer, negating the need for a separate washer part. A flange nut might have to be replaced for several reasons, including the part going missing, which is a frequent occurrence as it is small and does not necessarily cause any immediate damage if it is lost. Additionally, a flange nut can be subject to damage over time through general wear and tear, overuse, punctures, piercings, scrapes, or erosion to the metal material. Such damage can hamper its ability to fasten materials together. If this is the case, a replacement flange nut should be ordered. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This flange nut is a genuine OEM Husqvarna part, sold individually. It compatible with the following outdoor appliance brands: Husqvarna, Poulan, and Craftsman.

This 1/4-20 hex nut has a great variety of uses on lawn and landscaping equipment. As a lock nut, it can be tightened and retains its grip, even without the use of a washer. This particular piece of hardware appears in many connective points on push mowers, zero-turn mowers, riding mowers, tillers, lawn tractor implements, and other types of equipment manufactured by Husqvarna, Poulan, Jonsered, and Weed Eater. For instance, with MTD mulching mowers, these hex nuts are used to secure the mower housing to the manifold of the mower. More than just with gasoline-powered lawn tools, these versatile nuts are also found on handheld tools like impact wrenches and tools driven by compressed air. Hex nuts bind tightly with their locking grip and seldom come off. The more likely scenario, especially since so many are used in manufacturing and by power tools, is that these nuts will become lost in the course of maintaining, cleaning, and repairing mowers and other equipment. For this reason, it's always important for the user to purchase more than the anticipated number needed. Make sure also to purchase hex nuts like these that are OEM certified and guaranteed.
