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 is an authentic OEM replacement flat washer that has been sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is used with bolts and screws for fastening components on various lawn and garden equipment parts. Flat washers spread the load of the bolt or screw or are used if the hole for the fastener is larger than necessary. The washer fills in the gap, making it more secure. Washers may also be used to prevent the bolt or screw from coming in contact with the component and creating heat or friction that could damage the part. 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. Reinstall the bolt or screw and tighten. The flat washer is made of durable metal and sold as an individual component.

This is a self-tapping screw that can be used on a wide variety of lawn and garden equipment in many applications. A self-tapping screw is used to secure metal, wood, plastic, and brick together. When using a self-tapping screw, there's no need to drill a pilot hole since the screw makes its own hole. The only exception is with metal, which will still need a drilled hole before installation. There are many situations when a screw may need to be replaced. Some screws are damaged or broken, while others can become loose and no longer hold materials together. Screw heads can become stripped, which will also mean they need to be replaced. A visual inspection can often give an indication of whether you should replace a self-tapping screw.
