This is a simple set of lawnmower ignition keys. They’re also used for an array of riding mowers, lawn tractors, and even snowblowers. To simplify repair and replacement procedures, most manufacturers use standardized keys for all their machines in a given class. As a result, a single key can be used for dozens of machines. The keys are manufactured from stainless steel, with an INDAK logo stamped into the center. Regardless of whether the machine is a walk-behind mower or a full-sized lawn tractor, a keyed ignition is easier to operate than a recoil cord. Similarly, replacing a key is generally straightforward. The exception is if the old key has snapped off in the ignition. In this case, a set of needle-nosed pliers can sometimes be used to extract the key. A powerful magnet can also be helpful if the broken key is being stubborn. In the worst-case scenario, the ignition may need to be replaced. This is an OEM part sourced directly from MTD, and it is sold as a set of two.

One of the essential parts of a walk-behind lawn mower is the gas cap. Many people don't notice that mower fuel caps are almost always rubberized or hard plastic and that they are black in color. These are specific design reasons for this. Other openings in the mower's body, especially the oil fill, are coded with different colors. This is meant to prevent users from pouring any incorrect substance into a container where it could damage the mower in any way. The rubber or hard plastic cap is meant both to be durable and non-conductive. In the past, mower caps were made of vented steel, which was conductive. Since a gallon of gasoline has the explosive potential of two sticks of dynamite, manufacturers have resorted to a number of wise safety measures to prevent accidents. As durable as they are, these caps do sometimes need to be replaced. If a cut or a heat-related deformation causes the cap to lose its water-tight capability, it must be replaced. Often caps are lost when users forget to replace them after gassing up. When choosing a replacement cap for a Troy-Bilt, MTD, or Yard-Man mower, make sure to select one like this OEM genuine certified replacement fuel cap. It's important to make sure the generator is not running when you replace the cover.
