Causes of failure can include stripping of the screw threads through over-tightening or corrosion, leading to a less secure fit.

Symptoms of a bad Screw include:

• Loose or dislodged components within the ice maker assembly.
• Inconsistent or halted ice production due to components shifting.
• Unusual noises emanating from the ice maker as a result of loose parts.

Symptoms of a bad ice dispenser yoke include:

• Ice jams or fails to dispense from the refrigerator door
• Chunky or uneven pieces of ice dispensed
• Grinding or sticking sounds coming from the ice dispensing area
• Dispenser mechanism not activating or operating as intended

A cotter pin, also known as a hitch pin, is used to secure pins and shafts in place. Meant for snowblowers, riding lawnmowers, and lawn tractors, this bow-tie shaped cotter pin has a double-end design making it easy to pull or push through either side of a pre-drilled hole. This pin snaps into a locked position without tension, keeping it secure during operation. Designed for lawn and garden maintenance equipment, this part ensures secure fastening. If the power equipment is used frequently, cotter pins may have to be replaced regularly so it would be practical to keep extra bow tie cotter pins on hand. It is highly recommended that work gloves be worn during the installation of this part. This part is compatible with Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Murray, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Bolens, Yard-Man, and MasterCut brands of lawn mower, snowblower, and log splitters. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sold individually.

A flange nut's unique wide flange design distributes the nut's pressure over the part it is securing. In return, it creates an even fastening surface, which reduces part damage and nut loosening. This one-piece all-metal fastener has a lock nut version that features a protruding circular flange. This drastically increases bearing surface, compatibility either for irregular or oversized holes, and surface tension reduction. Flange lock nuts are the preferred type of fastener for many lawnmower models because it can provide better fastening than regular screws, which are known to loosen under extreme vibration. However, it’s important to know that flange lock nuts are susceptible to wear and tear due to constant vibration exposure. It is essential to replace the broken flange lock nut immediately to prevent serious damage to the lawnmower. The MTD 712-04063 Flange Lock Nut OEM replacement can be used with Craftsman, White Outdoor, Yard Machines, MTD, or Columbia lawnmowers. It is a genuine or OEM MTD replacement part that measures 5/16-18. It is threaded and requires the use of a wrench. This replacement flange lock nut is sold individually. An MTD bolt carriage may also be needed and is sold separately.

Ice stripper removes ice cubes from the ice maker mold so the dispenser or storage bin fills properly. Replacing a worn or broken stripper helps the ice maker eject cubes cleanly and reduces ice jams or stuck cubes. What it does:

• Pushes or guides harvested cubes out of the ice mold into the bin during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Prevents cubes from sticking in the mold; a damaged stripper can cause incomplete ejection or leftover ice in the mold.
• Works with the ice maker's ejector mechanism to maintain consistent cube release and storage.
• A faulty or broken stripper may lead to noisy operation, partial fills, or visible ice build-up in the mold.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove the ice maker or access panel per the manufacturer's instructions to reach the stripper; keep small parts and screws organized.
• Inspect the ice mold and surrounding components for damage or ice build-up; clear ice before installing the new stripper.
• After installation, restore power and run a test harvest cycle to ensure proper cube ejection.

This is a flanged lock nut. It’s designed to apply tension, typically on a joint that needs to have a certain amount of flex. As such, it’s mostly used on snowblower chutes and lawnmower handles. They can remain in place, but with a forgiving connection that can take a beating. The nut size is 3/8, with a thread size of 16. A lock nut will generally last for many years. However, the silicone ring inside will wear down if it’s frequently tightened and loosened. It needs to be replaced when it will no longer reliably remain in place. Generally, this begins as a symptom of slight slippage and worsens as time goes on. Thankfully, whether it’s being used on a snowblower or a lawnmower, this nut is generally straightforward to access. Simply unscrew the old nut, then screw the new nut on until it’s nice and tight. Our flanged lock nuts are genuine OEM MTD nuts, and they are sold individually.

The shave plate is a common snowblower part that attaches to the back of the blower housing and directs snow into the auger and blade assembly so it can be cleared. The particular layer of ice and snow this blade is removing is the hardest and heaviest part of the snowfall. The shave plate is also called the scraper bar or scraper blade. Periodically, because it is in direct contact with the concrete surface below the snow, the shave plate wears out and must be replaced. A shave plate may be worn, gouged, or sliced so it does not smoothly remove the snow from the sidewalk. Replacing the shave plate is a simple task that can be accomplished in 30 minutes or less. The shave plate is connected to the blower housing by four adjustable fasteners that are removed. This genuine OEM replacement part is manufactured by Genuine MTD. It is compatible with a great variety of snowblowers, including Husky, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, MTD, Cub Cadet, and Yard-Man. This OEM part is sold individually.

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

A flange lock nut, also known as a flange lock or a lock nut, is created to be used in various types of lawn and garden equipment. This flange lock nut holds other parts in place and, when properly threaded, will resist loosening. Over time, a flange lock nut may begin to weaken and may become loose or break. If it appears to be broken or weak, a replacement is required. Flange locks can be adjusted and uninstalled after use. When replacement is required, you may need a socket set, screwdriver, hacksaw, and butane torch. The socket wrench will loosen the bolt it is connected to, while the torch is used to heat the lock nut. A socket wrench may remove the nut, but sometimes cutting it with a hacksaw is required. This flange lock nut is a genuine OEM component directly from the manufacturer and comes in an individual unit. It is made of metal, a gold color, and can be found in various areas of lawn equipment. It works with lawnmowers, trimmers, snowblowers, cultivators, tillers, and leaf blowers by Poulan, MTD, Toro, Cub Cadet, Murray, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Yard Machines, Craftsman, and Yard-Man.

This is a replacement skid shoe for Craftsman snowblowers. Ideally, when one shoe becomes so worn that it needs to be replaced, the other shoe should be replaced as well. Replacement is not difficult and should only require about half an hour. First, take out the key and disconnect the plug wire to prevent the machine from starting during repair. Remove the carriage bolts, nuts, and washers that hold the skid shoes in place. Replace the skid shoes. Ensure that the adjustable skids shoes are elevated enough that the snow blades will not collide with the ground during use. This will prolong the life of the shave plate. This OEM part fits a variety of different snowblowers made by Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Ryobi, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Montgomery Wards, Bolens, Yard-Man. Sold individually. The carriage bolts that hold the shoe in place may also need to be replaced and are sold separately.

The carburetor gasket is installed between the engine and the carburetor body, providing an airtight seal so that all fuel and air going into and out of the carburetor are delivered at optimal pressure for peak engine performance. This gasket can wear down over time and create leaks in the seal, which allows air to escape and can affect the operation of the engine. In the event that the engine won’t stay engaged or isn’t running properly, there may be a problem with the gasket seal. Be sure to let the engine cool completely before working on this part. Drain the gas tank and work in a well-ventilated area. This genuine OEM carburetor gasket replacement will offer an exact fit for compatible lawn and garden equipment engines, including those from MTD, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Yard-Man, Husky, and Cub Cadet. This gasket is sold individually as a single part.
