This cotter pin is a genuine MTD replacement part in the small engines of outdoor appliances such as lawn mowers, snowblowers, leaf blowers, and wood-chippers. A cotter pin is a type of fastener that secures nuts and bolts to one another; in order to use the cotter pin, a hole must be drilled into the bolt. A cotter pin is useful for appliances that shake, rattle, and vibrate regularly, as it keeps the nuts and bolts in place, ensuring that all the internal materials are held together.A cotter pin might need to be individually replaced if, despite the extra security it provides against loosening parts, it loosens along with the nuts and bolts, thereby letting internal materials separate from one another. A cotter pin could be subject to damage from cracks, chips, piercings, or erosion over time from general use or overexposure. A replacement cotter pin should be ordered if it can no longer keep nuts and bolts in place. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This cotter pin is compatible with the following brands: MTD, Columbia, Craftsman, Huskee, and Troy-Bilt. This part sold individually.
