This self-tapping screw is used to attach various parts to the engine housing of medium sized gasoline powered engines, in particular yard tools such as tillers, snow blowers, yard tractors, riding mowers, power vacuums, shredders, and chippers. It is used in over 150 different gasoline powered engines. Screws such as these are used particularly when a device is going to receive a great amount of vibration and stress while the engine is running and rotating tools are engaged. Such devices sustain a great deal of wear over time and the parts subject to replacement will eventually fail and need to be replaced. In such cases, it is wisest to replace the attaching hardware such as housing screws as well, because it is a self-tapping screw. Screws of this type are designed to forge a tight bond between the metal pieces they are securing together, but once loosened, they should ideally be replaced with new hardware. Make sure when replacing these screws to use genuine OEM parts like these screws. These replacement parts are manufactured to be identical to the original pieces. This hex screw is compatible with the following brands: MasterCut, Yard-Man, Yard Machine, Montgomery Wards, MTC, Murray, Bolens, Craftsman, Turf King, Troy Bilt, Cub Cadet, Huskee, Toro, and Ryobi.
This replacement part is a hex screw. This is a genuine replacement part made by MTD. This specific type of screw is most commonly found in different types of machinery and appliances. Screws are able to keep parts stable and connected so that they are secure during use. A new hex screw might be needed if the current one is visibly damaged or missing. It is not uncommon for screws to become stripped down or lodged in place after years of normal wear and tear. If this is the case they should be replaced as soon as possible. If the screw is lodged in place, pliers might be required in addition to a screwdriver to complete this repair. This part is sold individually and is sourced directly from the manufacturer. This part is a genuine OEM replacement part to ensure proper fit and long-lasting use.
