This washer is a genuine MTD replacement part for lawn and garden appliances that are operated by small engines, such as lawn tractors, snowblowers, chipper shredders, leaf blowers, and lawn mowers. The purpose of a washer is to protect and insulate nuts, bolts, and other types of fasteners, preventing these fasteners from gradually loosening. A washer will have to be replaced in the event that it is lost or misplaced, a common occurrence given its extremely small size and its ability to slide off without calling any attention to its absence. Other reasons to replace a washer could include general wear and tear or visible damage in the form of erosion, bending, or cracking metal as a result of overuse or overexposure. If a washer is subject to any of this kind of damage, it should be replaced immediately to avoid nuts and bolts coming loose and separating the materials that they protect and hold together. Remember that gloves must always be worn when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This washer part is compatible with the brands MTD, Yard Machines, Cub Cadet, and Yard Man.
