Statesman Lawn Mower Parts

This replacement part is a hex bolt. It is a genuine replacement part made by MTD. Hex bolts are named because they are shaped like a hexagon and are different from the regular circle-shaped bolts. These parts are able to hold other parts secure and in place so that everything can operate as needed. A new hex bolt might be needed if the current ones are damaged in any way. It is possible that these bolts become stripped or lodged in place over time due to normal wear and tear and should be replaced. The repair should be fairly easy, only requiring a screwdriver or pliers if the previous part is stuck. Be sure the engine is completely powered down before beginning this repair. This bolt is sold individually. Be sure to purchase the correct amount as many appliances require more than one. This is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer.

This steering gear is an integral part of the guidance mechanism for riding mowers and lawn tractors. This gear meshes with the turning mechanism of the wheels, connecting the front axle to the steering column. The constant, short diameter turning of riding mowers puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the steering pinion gear as well as the steering plate, causing the teeth of each of these parts to wear out. Over time, the steering will become less responsive until eventually the drive wheels will not respond at all when the steering wheel is turned. This is usually an indication that the steering pinion gear is stripped and must be replaced. Replacing this gear involves removing the nut and bolt that fix the gear to the mowing housing. Often, the bushing that sits beneath the pinion gear also needs to be replaced because of wear, and this is the best time to do that, as well. It's also a good idea to see if the steering plate teeth are also worn, as this is the ideal time to replace it as well. All parts should be replaced with genuine OEM parts, manufactured, as this replacement part is, according the specs of the original part. This pinion gear is compatible with Huskee, Murray, Bolens, Yard Man, Troy-Bilt, MTD, Yard Machine, and Cub Cadet riding mowers. This part sold individually.

This blade adapter is made to attach a lawn mower cutting blade to the drive shaft of a push mower. Though it is made of sturdy metal and is tightly fastened to the mower's drive, the adapter and blade may wear and loosen over time. This can present a dangerous situation as well as poor cutting performance for the blade. Also, each adapter has a small insert tab that fits into the blade attachment. This tab, called a “key,” is actually a shear pin. Should the blade strike a solid object, the key will sheer off, preventing the blade from coming loose or suffering irreparable damage. The solution to either of these problems is to replace the blade adapter. The blade itself should be closely examined to make sure it fits the new adapter with no wobble or slack. To replace the blade adapter, turn the mower on its side with the air filter on top. Use a ratchet to remove the bolt that attaches the blade and adapter to the drive shaft. Make certain to fit the new adapter key into the keyway on the shaft. Always use a replacement part like this one, that is OEM certified to be identical to the original. This blade adapter is compatible with Ryobi, Yard Machines, Yard Man, Huskee, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, MTD, and Bolens mowers.

This is a genuine replacement bolt that is designed specifically for use on select lawn tractors. This tractor bolt is a specialty piece of hardware designed for use on the steering segment gear. This screw holds the gear in place and is exposed to constant vibrations and repetitive motion as a result. Over time, that can result in damage, wear, or even total breakage of the bolt and require a replacement. If the bolt isn't functional or is missing, the steering segment gear will not be secured and that can lead to further damage if left unattended. Using a genuine replacement part like this will guarantee an exact fit for compatible models. This genuine OEM gear bolt is manufactured by MTD. It is compatible with lawn and garden equipment from RYOBI, HUSKEE, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Yard Machines, Yard Man, and Cub Cadet, along with select models from MTD.

Lawnmowers and other lawn and garden equipment need to be mobile, and that means they need wheels. There are many warning signs that it is time to replace the wheel. For example, if a self-propelling machine struggles to move easily or if a push mower is not operating as smoothly as in the past, it may be that the wheel assembly has failed. The reasons for failures include the materials, the amount of weight put on the wheels, the amount of use, and the type of use. Changing a wheel is simple but requires the appropriate parts.
