This genuine OEM starter handle is sourced directly from the manufacturer. The starter handle is the visible part of the starter rope component of the pull-start system. This starter system is standard on outdoor lawn and garden equipment. The starter handle is attached to the end of the starter-rope by means of a pass-through hole on the handle. The rope is pushed through the hole, tied, and pulled back into the handle to conceal the knot. The starter handle is made of durable plastic. The heat from the sun and repeated daily use may cause the handle to weaken and break. Cracked starter handles can become a safety hazard. Gripping and pulling a cracked handle can cut skin. Broken handles can also be hard to grip, making it difficult to get a good pull on the starter rope. Thankfully, replacement is simple and no tools are required. Make sure the spark plug is out of the machine to prevent accidental engine starting. Push the rope back up through the handle. Untie the knot but do not let the string go; push it up through the hole in the new handle and tie a knot in the end. Reinstall the spark plug.The starter handle is sold as a single unit. It is designed for leaf blowers, wood chippers, and small engines and is compatible with MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and Yard Machines.

This genuine OEM hose clamp is sourced directly from the manufacturer for use in various applications on lawn and garden equipment with small engines. For example, hose clamps can used to attach the tubing from the fuel tank to the engine. This hose clamp is spring-driven, so it does not require tools for removal or installation. Hose clamps should be replaced anytime the hoses are replaced. Replacing the hose clamp ensures a proper fit. If the hose clamp is not tight enough, air may get into the system, or fluids may leak out. This can lead to poor performance or engine damage. During regular operation, if the clamps are not tight enough, the vibrations from the equipment can cause the hose to come off. This could be a potentially disastrous situation for the engine or the safety of the user. To install the spring-driven hose clamp, squeeze the ends until it opens wide enough to fit over the hose. Slide it down the house about ½ inch. Fit the hose to the intended outlet nipple and push on securely. Squeeze the clamp and pull it up to the joint between the hose and the outlet. Release the clip. Make sure the clip is not squeesing too tightly and blocking the hose.This hose clamp is sold individually and designed for use in all applications requiring a hose clamp. It is manufactured for Cub Cadet, MTD, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, and other engines.

Muffler assembly for small engines on lawn and garden equipment. Reduces noise during operation. Replace if cracked, rusted, or damaged for quieter use.

This short block assembly is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer for use with the engine in many lawn and garden machines. The camshaft, crankshaft, piston, rod, valves, and governor are included in the kit. The gasket replacement kit is also included in the assembly. Damaged engines are costly and time-consuming to rebuild. Replacing the short block assembly is a less expensive option. Damage to the crankshaft is common in outdoor lawn and garden equipment. Rocks, sticks, and other debris can get caught in the engine and damage the camshaft or crankshaft. When this occurs, replacing the short block is easier than taking the entire short block apart to replace the damaged part. If the crankshaft is damaged, there is no reason to replace the entire engine when a replacement short block assembly will provide necessary repairs at a lesser cost.This short block assembly is sold as an individual part. It comes pre-assembled and ready to install. This assembly is designed for use in leaf blowers, log splitters, tillers, wood chippers, and other small engines manufactured by Cub Cadet, MTD, Yard Machines, and Troy-Bilt.

This genuine OEM complete engine gasket kit is sourced from the manufacturer for use in tillers, blowers, chippers, and other outdoor lawn and garden machines. The kit contains all the gaskets that are required to fit in and on the many different parts of the engine. These gaskets provide protection from outside elements that could interfere with engine performance, such as rain or debris. These gaskets also keep fluids and air from leaking out of the engine, which can reduce engine performance as well. Engine gaskets should be inspected and maintained to ensure proper engine performance. The gaskets are made of materials intended to withstand high heat, like silicone, cork, rubber, or paper, depending on where it is installed. Over time, the gaskets may become worn, cracked, or torn and need to be replaced. A screwdriver is required to remove the engine cover to access the various gaskets. This complete engine gasket kit allows for the replacement of all gaskets. Clean old grease from the engine before installing the new gaskets. Add new lubricant before installing the new gaskets. Replace the engine cover and tighten screws. This gasket kit is sold as one unit. This gasket kit is designed for various MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and Yard Machines engines.

This is a genuine OEM valve cover kit which contains the valve cover and inner gasket. The valve cover covers the engine's valves on chippers, tillers, log splitters, and other outdoor lawn and garden equipment. The cover protects the valves from exposure to weather and prevents oil from seeping out and causing damage. The gasket inside the valve cover ensures the lid is sealed tightly against the engine.Valve covers and the gasket require periodic inspection and regular maintenance. An inspection will indicate if removal and replacement are needed. Maintenance assures the gasket is replaced periodically to keep the seal tight. Heat, rain, snow, and normal wear and tear can lead to cracks in the cover and the gasket. Leaking oil, smelling burned oil, engine misfires, and reduced engine performance are good signs that the gasket and cover need to be removed and replaced. A screwdriver is required to remove and replace the cover. Always perform repairs in a well-ventilated area.This OEM valve cover kit is sourced from the manufacturer. It is sold as a single unit. Screws are not included with the valve cover kit. This valve cover kit is designed for various model MTD, Cub Cadet, Yard Machines, and Troy-Bilt engines.

A carburetor kit is an important piece of hardware designed for use with pieces of outdoor lawn and garden power equipment that have small engines, such as a log splitter, a chipper, a shredder, and a snow blower. It is compatible with products by brands such as MTD, Cub Cadet, Yard Machines, and Troy-Bilt.An OEM carburetor kit will be crucial if the time comes to rebuild the machine's carburetor. The purpose of the carburetor is to mix air and fuel for internal combustion engines in the proper air-to-fuel ratio for combustion. The replacement or repair process is necessary when the carburetor fails to perform as expected. Any number of symptoms could indicate a faulty carburetor, ranging from poor engine performance to black smoke from the exhaust. Other indicators of a bad carburetor include backfiring, overheating, and hard-starting.When using the carburetor kit to repair or replace the machine's carburetor, be sure to complete the work in a well-ventilated area. It is essential that anyone involved in the rebuild knows to drain any leftover fuel from the tank and fuel lines prior to beginning the rebuild process.
