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.

A flat washer is used in a variety of applications, such as being placed under bolts or nuts as a means to help distribute the load over a larger area and to help ensure the nuts and bolts do not become loose over time. The washers also help to protect the surface from corrosion and damage. Not having washers could reduce the lifespan of a machine. It is important for buyers to replace washers that may have been lost or become damaged. The washers should be checked for signs of corrosion, cupping, or other damage that would necessitate replacement. Buyers should always make sure they are getting the correct size.
