Weedeater Tiller Fastener

This flanged hex nut is used in various models of lawn and garden equipment. The nut is considered a standard hardware part that may have multiple applications on different units. It is typically used along with a bolt or screw to provide a secure hold for various components. This nut is a small part and can become lost in the process of other repairs. It can also break or strip the threads due to regular wear and tear, impact damage, or another issue. If this nut is broken or missing, it needs to be replaced immediately. Replacing the hex nut with a genuine OEM part will ensure equipment is always in proper working order. This OEM hex nut is designed for use in select Craftsman and Husqvarna equipment. It is manufactured by Husqvarna as an exact replacement for the original nuts that came with the machine. This part can fit on more than 150 machines, including lawn mowers, tractors, snow blowers, and trimmers from both brands. Owners will want to check their parts diagram for the exact location(s) and application(s) of this nut. Since it is standard hardware, some people purchase multiple quantities to keep extra parts on hand in case of emergency.

This 1/4-20 hex nut has a great variety of uses on lawn and landscaping equipment. As a lock nut, it can be tightened and retains its grip, even without the use of a washer. This particular piece of hardware appears in many connective points on push mowers, zero-turn mowers, riding mowers, tillers, lawn tractor implements, and other types of equipment manufactured by Husqvarna, Poulan, Jonsered, and Weed Eater. For instance, with MTD mulching mowers, these hex nuts are used to secure the mower housing to the manifold of the mower. More than just with gasoline-powered lawn tools, these versatile nuts are also found on handheld tools like impact wrenches and tools driven by compressed air. Hex nuts bind tightly with their locking grip and seldom come off. The more likely scenario, especially since so many are used in manufacturing and by power tools, is that these nuts will become lost in the course of maintaining, cleaning, and repairing mowers and other equipment. For this reason, it's always important for the user to purchase more than the anticipated number needed. Make sure also to purchase hex nuts like these that are OEM certified and guaranteed.
