This part is a replacement mandrel bearing. This is a genuine OEM part made by MTD and has been sourced directly from the manufacturer. This part can be used to replace a defective or broken mandrel bearing in a variety of lawn tractor models. Mandrel bearings are a critical component that ensures no excess heat, friction, or vibration occurs while the equipment is in use. Bearings are subject to wear and tear and will require replacement when no longer working effectively. When working on or near an engine, it's important to ensure that the equipment is powered off and completely cool before beginning any repairs. For more accurate information on how and where to place this mandrel bearing, the appropriate owner's manual and equipment diagrams should be referred to. As an authentic replacement part, this mandrel bearing is suitable for use on lawn tractors manufactured by MTD, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, and other brands. Please note that this is a genuine part made of high-quality, durable metal and is sold individually.

This is a bushing made from black plastic with a cleft down the middle to provide enough flex for easy insertion. It has a flanged design, which means it won’t easily pop out after installation, even under stress from constant vibration. The bushing’s primary purpose is to protect wires and cables from damage as they pass through a channel. As such, the material is fairly durable and does not need to be replaced under ordinary circumstances. That said, there are some situations in which it can become damaged. For one thing, it’s easy to damage while repairing the wires or cables that run through the bushing. If the bushing does need to be replaced, it requires disconnecting any cables or wires that run through the bushing. Pop out the old bushing with a rubber mallet, install the new bushing the same way, reconnect the wires, and the repair is complete. This is an OEM part sourced directly from MTD, and it is sold individually. It was initially used on snowblowers but has also been used on lawnmowers and lawn tractors.

A ball bearing is a common type of rolling-element bearing. It will use balls to keep space between the bearing races and eliminate friction and contact between moving parts. Ball bearings used in lawn and garden equipment ensure that axial loads and radial loads are evenly supported and that there is only a limited amount of rotational friction on the component. It distributes weight evenly, but will undergo constant wear and tear from vibration, heat, and friction and will need replacement regularly. This ball bearing is a genuine OEM part suited to use in Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Ryobi, Troy-Bilt, MTD, Huskee, Yard Machines, Bolens, Mastercut, and Yard-Man equipment. It may be needed for repair work done on a lawnmower, snowblower, tiller, edger, or a log splitter.
