This flange bearing is a genuine MTD part, sold individually. This flange bearing can be used as a replacement part in a snowblower. The purpose of a flange bearing in a snowblower is to serve as a fastening component within the structure of the appliance.The flange bearing in a snowblower might have to be completely replaced at some point if the flange bearing can no longer facilitate the rotation or linear movement of one or more components within a snowblower. This could occur if the flange bearing has suffered damage as a result of general wear and tear with long-term use or due to collision with a hard object. If this occurs, the flange bearing should be removed and replaced by this genuine OEM replacement part.Sourced directly from the manufacturer, this component is a genuine replacement part that is sold individually. This flange bearing is compatible with the following outdoor appliance brands: MTD, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, Huskee, and Yard-Man.

The shear pin’s purpose is to stop the engine when it is broken. If the machinery hits something hard, the shear pin will break. This prevents injuries that could be fatal. If something large or small becomes clogged or jammed in the auger, the shear pin is meant to snap in half, rendering the auger useless. This happens once the auger reaches a certain point in pressure load, which also prevents damage to the rest of your equipment. The auger part of your machinery cannot turn without a shear pin. Since the purpose of the shear pin is to break on impact, it's a good idea to have several of these on hand for quick replacements. There’s nothing like having your equipment break down in the middle of a job. Repair is simple. Just remove the broken shear pin, line up the auger’s holes, and insert your new shear pin. Use the cotter pin to secure your shear pin. This genuine OEM auger shear pin works in conjunction with small engine equipment with augers made by Craftsman, Cub Cadet, MTD, Troy-Built, Yard Machines, and Yard-Man. This part is sold individually. Consider also ordering an MTD Pin-Bow Tie Cotter or retaining clip.

A carriage bolt is a type of fastener. It features a smooth rounded head and a square domed top. It has threading, which leads to up to the square shoulder. The purpose of its square is to prevent the bolt from spinning. Once the carriage bolt is inserted through the hole, using a nut and washer can provide additional security. Carriage bolts can corrode and loosen over time. Since it doesn't have a slotted head, a socket wrench is needed when replacing. This bolt carriage replacement is compatible with wood chippers, tillers, string trimmers, lawnmowers, and edgers. It is a genuine MTD product that measures 5/16x.075. It has a smooth rounded head and square shoulder underneath it. This carriage bolt is sold individually.

The friction wheel for a snowblower is sometimes also known as a friction disc or a friction ring. The friction wheel is what helps to move the snowblower forward. When the disc is in contact with the spinning drive wheel, the disc will rotate and turn the axle to propel the snowblower. Over time, the friction wheel can start to wear down or even break. If this happens, it will mean that the snowblower will move slowly, or that it might have erratic movements. Owners who find that they are having similar problems with their machine will want to check the friction wheel to see if it is damaged or broken. They will need to replace the disc before they can use the machine efficiently and safely. The genuine OEM replacement friction wheel is for use with snowblowers, and it is sold individually. Compatible brands include Cub Cadet, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Yard-Man, Montgomery Wards, Bolens, Huskee, MTD, Yard Machines, and Ryobi.

The auger belt is a rubber v-belt that goes around the auger on two-stage snow throwers. The belt is responsible for helping ensure smooth rotation of the auger. Since it is made from rubber, it can wear out over time and snap off or become so damaged that it doesn’t work effectively. Replacement of the belt is a part of routine maintenance that comes with snowblower ownership. The belt can be replaced in no time using a basic wrench set. This auger belt is compatible with several snow throwers, including models from MTD, Cub Cadet, Husky, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, and Yard-Man. It works with hundreds of different machines and is made from a durable rubber material.

In a snowblower, the driveshaft is connected to a part called a worm gear. The worm gear turns the auger blades which eject the snow. The worm gear is connected to the worm shaft, which causes the auger blade to turn rapidly. Eventually, the incredible torque inside the machine, plus the occasional bumps and bruises experienced by the machine in operation and when being stowed, may cause the worm gear to malfunction. When the snowblower is erratic in its operation and fails to remove snow completely, there is a good chance the problem is the worm gear. To replace the worm gear, remove the housing to get to the worm shaft. Remove the entire worm assembly. Next, remove the blower fan and remove the worm gear. Grease the auger assembly before installing the new gear. Reverse the order to reassemble. While the snowblower is disassembled, it's the best time so exam the auger, driveshaft, sheer bolts, and tires for wear. You may find other parts that need to be updated. Make sure to replace the worm bolt and any other necessary parts with a genuine OEM manufactured part such as this one. This gear can be used in a number of snowblowers, including machines made by Yard Machines, Craftsman, Bolens, Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Ryobi, Montgomery Wards, Huskee, and MTD. Part sold individually.
