Troy-Bilt Log Splitter Spring Parts

Replacement torsion spring for lawn and garden equipment engines. Creates tension between levers and components. Replace if broken, overstretched, or distorted.

Extension spring for snow blower idler pulley assemblies. Mounts to housing to maintain proper tension in belt drive system. Replace if stretched, broken, or missing.

This is a simple extension spring with an outside diameter of 0.38 and a slack length of 2.5. It is primarily used as an extension spring for snowblowers, but may be compatible with other lawn equipment. It’s designed to apply tension as the throttle is applied. The more gas there is, the more resistance will be present. Under most circumstances, replacement is easy. When the spring breaks or gets rusty, look at both points of attachment. Memorize where it’s attached, or take a picture, and remove the old spring using a pair of pliers if necessary. Install the new spring and the tool is ready to use. This is an OEM part sourced directly from MTD, and it is sold individually. It’s black in color and was initially designed for Troy-Bilt lawnmowers. However, because this is a versatile part, it has since been repurposed for a number of MTD and related machines in other brands. These include lawn tractors and snowblowers, as well as lawnmowers, in brands such as Ryobi, Yard Machines, Husky, and Cub Cadet.

An authentic OEM replacement extension spring is an integral part of a lawn tractor or snowblowers brake system that helps to hold together and redistribute energy throughout the lower deck. When a driver applies the brakes, the lower deck has a tendency to continue moving forward with inertia. This extension spring helps to keep the parts in place and transfer a balance of energy. Although replacing the extension spring itself is a simple and straightforward process, gaining access to the spring is a little complicated as it requires removing the lawn mower or snowblower's lower deck. You will need a pair of pliers to remove the pins and cables that hold the lower deck in place but there is no other required hardware. Be sure to follow the user's manual as you remove the deck. This part is a top-quality replacement part sourced from its original manufacturer. It is designed to be used with Murray, Husky, Troy-Bilt Poulan, Yard Man, Yard Machines, Bolens, and MTD appliances. This part ships individually.
