Ranch King Parts

This authentic OEM replacement part is a steering shaft intended to be used on lawn tractors. A steering shaft connects the steering wheel to the rest of the steering mechanism. As a user rotates the steering wheel, the steering shaft also rotates to move the pinion along the steering rack. The more the steering shaft rotates, the more the pinion travels along the rack, and the more the wheels turn in the direction of the steering wheel. Steering shafts most commonly have to be replaced if the steering mechanism becomes worn out or stripped. When this happens, steering will be more difficult and cause strange clunking sounds. The steering wheel may also feel looser than normal and may not recenter after being turned. Leaving a faulty steering shaft unrepaired can lead to accidents. Replacing the steering shaft means detaching the lower deck of the lawn tractor from the upper frame, then removing the steering wheel, adapter, fuel tank, and old steering shaft. This requires a socket wrench set and can is an intermediate-level repair. This part is compatible with MTD, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Yardman, Husky, and Bolens lawn tractors. It ships individually and is sourced from the original manufacturer.

This is a shear bolt, also known as a shear pin, which is used in many models of snowblowers. The shear bolt connects the auger shaft to the auger on the tool. This connection allows the augers to rotate, collecting snow and sending it to the impeller fan. Most snowblowers have at least one shear pin on each side of the auger gearcase. Large objects that get stuck between the housing and augers can damage the pins, necessitating replacement.If there is damage to the shear bolt or if it has broken, the snowblower may not work as expected. To replace the bolt, the snowblower should be turned off. Wear work gloves and remove the spark plug wire before disassembling the snowblower to reach the shear bolt.
