This air filter consists of an internal plastic frame with a foam mesh cover that captures dust and dirt. The outer, washable pad covers an accordion-style inner filter that removes even finer particles. An air filter keeps particles in the air from getting sucked into the motor, where friction will cause wear and tear to the engine. However, a filter has a limited life cycle. Eventually, it gets clogged up, which leads to limited airflow and decreased efficiency. If the engine is bogging down when it is revved up, a clogged air filter might be to blame. Simply install a new air filter and see if the motor performance improves. It is recommended to preemptively replace the air filter every spring so a clogged filter never puts a halt to a job in progress.

When interlock switches are working properly, they will keep the engine from starting if there is no foot is not on the brake or if the parking brake is not set. When the switch breaks, it will not allow current to reach the starter even when the brake is on, which means the engine will not start. If the solenoid is not clicking when the ignition key on the tractor or mower is turned, the interlock switch is likely to blame.

This is an oil filter designed to fit a variety of small, gasoline-powered motors used primarily on lawn equipment. This genuine OEM replacement filter removes contaminants that otherwise would wear down the internal working parts of the engine. While the filter works very well, it should be replaced annually as a part of regular maintenance. Depending on use, the filter may need to be replaced more often. When replacing the oil filter, the crankcase oil must be drained and safely discarded as well. To remove oil from the gasoline engine, start the engine and let it run for a couple of minutes. This circulates the oil and heats the internal engine parts so oil is better able to drain. Next, remove the drain plug located on the bottom of the oil pan and collect the oil. Remember to dispose of the oil safely where it cannot contaminate streams or aquifers. Once the oil has been removed, remove the old filter and discard it properly. The new filter should only be hand-tightened in place as using a wrench may cause the filter gasket to seal to the engine block. This filter will fit Yard Machine mower engines and MTD equipment.

The nut-hex flange 5/8-18 features a hex nut with a wide flanged portion at one end. This flange will act as an integrated washer that does not spin.

If any of these nuts are removed from a machine to do other work, it is recommended to replace them with a new nut-hex flange. Check the nuts that are currently on the machine at least once a year. Make sure they are properly tightened and that they are in good condition. Replace them as needed.
