This genuine OEM replacement part is an extension spring for a Craftsman snowblower idler pulley assembly. The idler pulley attaches to a part of the snowblower's housing and is helps to transfer energy throughout the belt drive. This extension spring helps to redistribute some of the back-and-forth motion created in the pulley as the snowblower runs. This keeps the assembly from shifting out of place and potentially slipping. This extension spring is attached at two points and, if pulled in both directions too far, can eventually lose some of its tension. When this happens, the idler assembly can begin to shake and even slip out of place. Replacing the extension spring is an easy job that will only require a socket wrench to remove the idler pulley. A pair of pliers may help to remove the spring from its clips. This part is only compatible with Craftsman snowblowers and is sourced from its original manufacturer. It ships individually and any additional parts needed will have to be purchased separately.

This is the front wheel assembly that is used by a large number of manufactures as the standard wheel for push mowers. This wheel is a tough, black rubber wheel fitted onto a sturdy white chassis. Since it is not a pneumatic wheel, there is no concern that it will roll over hidden debris and be damaged. Push wheels such as these often last the lifetime of a Lawn Mower. However, there are occasions when the housing of the mower is dropped and the wheel becomes warped or broken. It's also the case that, with constant use, the wheels can lose tread, making them harder to maneuver in tough mowing conditions. It has also been reported that the tires will wear and become smaller in circumference over time, meaning it will require more gasoline to mow the same amount of yard. The front wheels are easily replaced. After removing the plug cap and stabilizing the mower, simply use a socket wrench to remove the center bolt from the wheel. It's a good idea to use a dry lubricant like graphite on the axle before replacing it. This OEM guaranteed replacement part is compatible with Ryobi, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Husky, Yard-Man, and MTD push mowers.

This is a bushing made from black plastic with a cleft down the middle to provide enough flex for easy insertion. It has a flanged design, which means it won’t easily pop out after installation, even under stress from constant vibration. The bushing’s primary purpose is to protect wires and cables from damage as they pass through a channel. As such, the material is fairly durable and does not need to be replaced under ordinary circumstances. That said, there are some situations in which it can become damaged. For one thing, it’s easy to damage while repairing the wires or cables that run through the bushing. If the bushing does need to be replaced, it requires disconnecting any cables or wires that run through the bushing. Pop out the old bushing with a rubber mallet, install the new bushing the same way, reconnect the wires, and the repair is complete. This is an OEM part sourced directly from MTD, and it is sold individually. It was initially used on snowblowers but has also been used on lawnmowers and lawn tractors.
