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 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.
