Carriage bolts are flat-tipped with round heads, and their function in small engine appliances is to fasten together components and to secure that connection with a nut. There are various reasons that a carriage bolt might have to be removed and replaced, among them misplacement of the small, easily lost part. Other reasons to replace a carriage bolt could include damage or erosion that prevents the bolt from attaching the materials to one another effectively. If a carriage bolt is subject to this kind of damage, it should be replaced before using the small engine appliance. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This genuine MTD carriage bolt can be used as a replacement part for several different kinds of appliances that require small engines, including lawnmowers, snowblowers, wood-chippers, tillers, string trimmers, leaf blowers, and edgers. The OEM carriage bolt is compatible with the following brands: Craftsman, Toro, Cub Cadet, Ryobi, Troy-Bilt, Murray, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Montgomery Wards, Bolens, Yard-Man, Turf King, and MasterCut.

This is a shoulder screw that is used to secure the handles of yard equipment. Typically, this screw is used with a matching wing nut, which is sold separately. Many different varieties of push lawn mowers have handles that fold downward for ease of storage. This is one of the locations on a mower where one will find shoulder bolts and the point at which these bolts are most likely wear out. While they are made of durable machined metal, shoulder bolts receive a great deal of wear, particularly from the handles being raised and lowered each time the mower is used. When pushing down on the mower to clear wet grass clippings or to make sharp turns with the mower, the entire weight of the mower is put on the two shoulder screws where they intersect. Since the metal of the handles can turn at that juncture, extra shearing action is put on the shoulder bolts, which can wear out. It is actually advantageous that the bolts wear out since otherwise, the handles themselves would warp and break apart. These OEM genuine replacement parts fit a number of different lawn and garden machines, including many made by Cub Cadets, Husky, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, Yard-Man, Bolens, MTD, and Yard-Machines.

This is a replacement belt for self-propelled lawn and garden equipment. The belt is responsible for turning the axle that rotates the wheels when the self-propelled action is engaged. Over time, the belt can become worn with regular use. it should be replaced every season for optimal operation.

If the impeller is not rotating, it will need to be removed and replaced for the blower to function properly.Remove the spark plug from the machine and drain the gas from the engine. Disconnect the control cables and separate the engine of the blower from the blower itself. Remove the auger to access the impeller. Remove the impeller from the blower and install the new one. Reassemble the snowblower and refill the gas. Put the spark plug back in and fire up the engine to test the new impeller. This impeller is sold as an individual unit. It is designed for use in snowblowers that are manufactured by MTD, Yard Machines, Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Husky, and Cub Cadet.

This screw is used on a variety of lawn and garden equipment from many manufacturers. This hex screw is a large bolt that has a six-sided head that can be used to fasten metal to wood or wood to wood. This type of screw is unique from traditional screws because the bolt head needs to be held with a socket while a second wrench is used to tighten or loosen the part.

Flat washers spread the load of the bolt or screw or are used if the hole for the fastener is larger than necessary. The washer fills in the gap, making it more secure. Washers may also be used to prevent the bolt or screw from coming in contact with the component and creating heat or friction that could damage the part. Flat washers are found underneath the head of the bolt or screw, between the fastener and the connected component. Washers may rust or break over time. These changes are visible, and a replacement washer should be installed when necessary.The tools required to remove the bolt or screw depend on what type it is. Wear work gloves when removing and replacing parts. Broken or frayed metal edges can cut. Use the appropriate tool to loosen and remove the fastener. Slide the washer off and place the new one on.

This is a replacement part for select riding mowers designed to ensure smooth rotation for years of use. This part is circular and tapers off into a hexagonal shape to support rotating shafts that create friction inside of machinery. Rotating parts are almost a given in most machinery like riding mowers, so the hex flange bearing provides support in multiple ways to parts such as wheels, rotors, and gears.The hex flange bearing serves two fundamental roles to make machinery run efficiently. For starters, friction will inevitably occur in rotating shafts, so bearings reduce the amount of friction and related wear and tear. The second function of this part is protecting the rotating from damage due to pressure created during operation.This genuine OEM sourced replacement part is intended to be used for lawn tractors from MTD and other yard machines. This part is compatible with manufacturers including Yard Machines, Bolens, Yard Man, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, and Husky. A wrench may be used for an easier replacement installation. This item is available for purchase individually.
