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.

This three arm knob is an authentic OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on lawn and garden machines as an adjustment handle, often for seat adjustment. The three sides of the knob make it easy to grasp and turn. The long threaded shaft ensures the knob is securely attached to the part it is used to adjust and has ample room for turning and adjusting. Over time, the plastic arms of the knob may deteriorate and crack making it difficult to turn. Cracks in the plastic can cause cuts and scratches. If the plastic breaks completely off, the handle will not be useable and should be replaced. If the plastic is broken, a pair of vise grips will be needed to remove the shaft of the handle. Once the handle is removed, line the threaded end of the handle up with the hole and turn it to tighten it in place. Don't over tighten as it could cause the threads to strip and not be usable.This three arm knob is a black plastic and metal part that is sold individually. It is designed for use in lawn and garden equipment that is manufactured by Husky, Craftsman, and Yard Machines.
