Yard Machines Engine Parts

This is an oil filter designed to fit a variety of small, gasoline-powered motors used primarily on lawn equipment. This genuine OEM replacement filter removes contaminants that otherwise would wear down the internal working parts of the engine. While the filter works very well, it should be replaced annually as a part of regular maintenance. Depending on use, the filter may need to be replaced more often. When replacing the oil filter, the crankcase oil must be drained and safely discarded as well. To remove oil from the gasoline engine, start the engine and let it run for a couple of minutes. This circulates the oil and heats the internal engine parts so oil is better able to drain. Next, remove the drain plug located on the bottom of the oil pan and collect the oil. Remember to dispose of the oil safely where it cannot contaminate streams or aquifers. Once the oil has been removed, remove the old filter and discard it properly. The new filter should only be hand-tightened in place as using a wrench may cause the filter gasket to seal to the engine block. This filter will fit Yard Machine mower engines and MTD equipment.

The carburetor gasket is installed between the engine and the carburetor body, providing an airtight seal so that all fuel and air going into and out of the carburetor are delivered at optimal pressure for peak engine performance. This gasket can wear down over time and create leaks in the seal, which allows air to escape and can affect the operation of the engine. In the event that the engine won’t stay engaged or isn’t running properly, there may be a problem with the gasket seal. Be sure to let the engine cool completely before working on this part. Drain the gas tank and work in a well-ventilated area. This genuine OEM carburetor gasket replacement will offer an exact fit for compatible lawn and garden equipment engines, including those from MTD, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Yard-Man, Husky, and Cub Cadet. This gasket is sold individually as a single part.

Installing a brand-new air filter keeps the engine in top running condition. When the machine is in operation, the vacuumed air goes through the air filter. Any dirt or dust is left in the filter media. Over time, the filter will become dirty and can no longer provide the same filtering efficiency as before. If left ignored, the tiny particles could clog the engine and the carburetor. You may experience misfires and no engine start-up. An air filter replacement is cheap and easy to do. Simply remove the air cleaner cover and take out the dirty filter. Insert the new filter into the housing. This replacement will take less than 5 minutes. A screwdriver will be needed.

This is a recoil starter assembly, first designed for rototillers, but also used on some models of wood chippers. It measures 7 inches in diameter and has a metal housing rather than plastic. This makes it more durable, suitable for heavy-duty lawn care responsibilities. The pull cord itself is standard nylon, well suited to pulling a heavier recoil. The purpose of a recoil starter assembly is to provide a relatively low-impact way of starting the engine. Instead of turning a crank, an operator can pull a cord, which is housed inside the starter assembly. Under ordinary circumstances, this assembly will rarely need to be entirely replaced, but damage can occur due to dropping or due to pulling the cord too hard when the engine is seized. In this case, a recoil starter assembly is a drop-in repair. Unscrew the old starter assembly, seat the new one, and screw it in. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is sold individually.

This air cleaner cover is designed to house the air filter on larger lawn equipment and other outdoor power tools. There is no aspect of small engine care more necessary than protecting the air that goes into the carburetor and cylinder from yard dust. Nothing is more incapacitating to a small engine than being clogged with dust, pollen, and other particulates that are invariably stirred up during landscaping work. While the air cleaner cover itself is not a moving part and would not seem to be subject to replacement, it is occasionally the case that, through extensive use or accidental contact, the cover becomes unable to shield the air filter within it. In these cases, it is essential to replace the cover with an OEM certified replacement cover that has been manufactured to the same specification as the original. Though replacing the cover itself is quite simple, it probably a very good idea to replace the air filters at the same time. If the cover is in need of replacement, it is quite likely the filters have been exposed to excessive amounts of particulate. This cover can be used on chippers, shredders, log splitter, mowers, and a variety of other small engine/large job equipment.
