Shoulder screws are a type of fastener used in many types of lawn and garden equipment. Also called stripper bolts or shoulder bolts, they have a head, threads, and an unthreaded shoulder. These screws are used in areas where items need to be held together in a specific location. They can be used with bearings, bushings, and machinery support. Shoulder screws are made of durable metal but can still experience breakage or damage. When this occurs, the screws will need to be replaced. A wrench can be used to remove the damaged shoulder screw. First, visually inspect the shoulder screw to look for damage or corrosion. Sometimes, the screw will be entirely broken. If any of these things are present, a wrench can be used to remove the old shoulder screw. The same tool can be used to insert a new shoulder screw before reassembling the equipment.Designed for lawnmowers, lawn tractors, tillers, leaf blowers, chainsaws, log splitters, chipper shredders, and snowblowers, this part is compatible with items from Yard Machines, MTD, Cub Cadet, Craftsman, Toro, Huskee, Montgomery Wards, Yard-Man, MasterCut, and Troy-Bilt.

This ball detent is a genuine MTD replacement part for appliances operated by small engines, including lawn tractors, lawn mowers, snowblowers, leaf blowers, chipper shredders, and tillers. The function of a ball detent is to temporarily keep two parts in place relative to one another, as one or both of the parts rotate.A ball detent might have to be replaced in the event that it suffers damage over time or is lost or misplaced. It is possible for ball detents to fall out of their spot, meaning that the parts that it ordinarily holds in place will not be able to rotate properly. Additionally, a ball detent might have to be replaced if there is material deterioration. If this occurs, a replacement ball detent part should be ordered and secured to the small engine appliance immediately. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This ball detent is compatible with the following brands: MTD, Yard Man, Yard Machines, and Troy-Bilt.

An idler pulley is an essential part of many small and medium sized gasoline powered tools. This idler pulley is used in equipment such as tillers, lawn tractors, log splitters, edgers, snow blowers, and trimmers. The idler pulley is necessary so that the engine can run without the tool's moving parts being engaged. For instance, a lawn tractor running without the cutting blades turning or the wheels rolling. Once the idler pulley is engaged, the blade begins to turn. There is a great deal of resistance encountered by the idler pulley each time the equipment's tools begin to turn. Over time, the pulley can become worn and will eventually need to be replaced. If there is a squealing sound whenever the moving parts of a lawn tool are engaged, it is probably a sign that the idler pulley is about to fail. The pulley itself is attached to the engine housing with 9/16 hex bolts and requires an adjustable wrench and 9/16 ratchet to remove and replace. Always use a genuine OEM manufactured replacement part such as this one when replacing the original, as this part is identical to the original. This part is compatible with equipment manufactured by Bolens, MTD, Cub Cadet, Huskee, and Troy Bilt.
