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. The bolt works for more than 100 compatible models. It is made of durable metal and sold as an individual unit. A wrench or socket will be required to replace this part. Always wear gloves when performing repairs on lawn and garden equipment and allow the engine to cool before doing any work.

This hex bolt is a necessary component used in a variety of small to medium sized gasoline powered engines used primarily in yard work, gardening, and landscaping. The primary use of this hex bolt is to secure the idler pulley assembly to the body of the machine. The idler pulley functions to engage the turning mechanism of the yard tool when engaged. The power yard tools that require an idler pulley which would use this screw are tillers, riding mowers, yard tractors, tillers, snow blowers and chippers. Engaging the rotating part of the yard tool places a great deal of resistance on the idler pulley, which may eventually result in it needing to be replaced. When replacing the idler pulley assembly, it's important to remember that the attaching hardware, such as the hex bolt, has also experienced a great deal of wear and should be replaced as well. This hex bolt attaches the idler pulley assembly directly to the machine housing and can be removed with a 9/16 wrench. Make sure when replacing the bolt to use a genuine OEM manufactured part that is identical to the manufacturer's original piece. This bolt is compatible with the following brands: Yard-Man, Bolens, Craftsman, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Huskee, Ryobi, Murray, MTD, MasterCut, and Montgomery Wards.

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 is a flanged lock nut. It’s designed to apply tension, typically on a joint that needs to have a certain amount of flex. As such, it’s mostly used on snowblower chutes and lawnmower handles. They can remain in place, but with a forgiving connection that can take a beating. The nut size is 3/8, with a thread size of 16. A lock nut will generally last for many years. However, the silicone ring inside will wear down if it’s frequently tightened and loosened. It needs to be replaced when it will no longer reliably remain in place. Generally, this begins as a symptom of slight slippage and worsens as time goes on. Thankfully, whether it’s being used on a snowblower or a lawnmower, this nut is generally straightforward to access. Simply unscrew the old nut, then screw the new nut on until it’s nice and tight. Our flanged lock nuts are genuine OEM MTD nuts, and they are sold individually.

This bearing flange is used on a wide variety of lawnmowers and lawn tractors. Unlike other bearings, the flange bearing is used to ensure the axle assembly stays securely attached to the pivot axle. The purpose of the flange bearing is to make sure the axle is able to move freely and in an effortless manner. The bearing undergoes a large amount of friction and stress while in use, so it can start to wear down.If the lawnmower is showing signs of wear at the flange bearing, it should be replaced. It's a good idea to regularly inspect the part to be sure it is in good shape. To replace the flange bearing, remove the bolt from the steering shaft and remove the old bearing. Grease the new bearing and the shaft before reinstalling the part. Reassemble and tighten all parts.This is a genuine OEM replacement part that is directly sourced from the manufacturer.
