Hex nuts are a common type of nut used with bolts, anchors, studs, and screws. These nuts are often present in lawn and garden equipment like lawnmowers. A hex nut has a hexagonal shape with machine screw threads and can be used with lock washers. Hex nuts are made of durable metal but can become damaged, corroded, or even break over time.Visually inspecting the hex nuts on lawn equipment will provide information about whether it's damaged or broken. This might be seen as a dent, a misshapen nut, or a nut that has broken in half. If these things are present, the hex nut will need to be replaced. Remove the hex nut using a socket wrench and socket and then place a new one on the machine. Once it has been situated, tighten the nut so it holds the other parts stable before using the machine.This hex nut is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It comes as an individual component. The part can be used in lawnmowers, log splitters, snowblowers, tillers, and string trimmers made by Craftsman, Toro, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Murray, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Montgomery Wards, Bolens, Yard-Man, and MasterCut.

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 authentic OEM replacement ball joint assembly is a part of the front suspension of a lawn tractor or riding mower. Suspensions are complex systems that include joints, bushings, and bearings that must all work together to turn and maintain contact with the ground. This ball joint assembly helps to connect all of these components. It works similarly to a human hip in that it has a joint and a ball that allows for pivot motions. The most common reason for a ball joint assembly to go bad is if it loses lubrication or becomes gritty. In order to work smoothly, these joints must stay well oiled or else they will grind and break. If the ball assembly breaks, use a wrench to disengage the wheel and change out the part. This is a fairly straightforward repair and should not take more than a few minutes. This replacement assembly is a high-quality part for Cub Cadet, Huskee, MTD, Yard Machines, Murray, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Ryobi, and Yard Man machines. This part is sourced from the original parts manufacturer and ships individually.

Flat washers are found underneath the head of the bolt or screw, between the fastener and the connected component. Washers may rust or break over time. These changes are visible, and a replacement washer should be installed when necessary.The tools required to remove the bolt or screw depend on what type it is. Wear work gloves when removing and replacing parts. Broken or frayed metal edges can cut. Use the appropriate tool to loosen and remove the fastener. Slide the washer off and place the new one on.

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.
