There are multiple uses for the 5/16-18 Hex Screw. It is often used with small gasoline-powered yard equipment such as lawn and garden machines. While hex screws such as these may be used in edgers and snowblowers, the most frequent use this screw is in yard tractors. This variety of screw is commonly used in attaching the various appendages of gas-powered equipment to a central operating platform. In particular, these hex screws are used to secure the engine block of power tools to the frame or housing of the equipment. Once in place, these fasteners have an almost unbreakable strength to them. This is so much so the case that often, in order to detach the engine manifold and repair the inner workings of an engine, the bolts must be chiseled or cut loose. In such cases, it is necessary for the bolts to be replaced during reassembly. Manufacturers insist that genuine OEM replacement parts be used in the rebuilding process. These replacement parts were manufactured to the same exacting specifications used to make the original screws. These OEM screws are compatible with equipment made and sold by Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Husky, MTD, Bolens, and Yard Machines.
This is a versatile screw designed with flanged hex head and double-lead threads. It is a high-low self-tapping screw with one thread that is high and the other low for easier penetration. The twin threads also reduce the amount of material displaced when the screw is driven into the material. This type of screw also creates a firmer grip. This screw can also be used to secure a newly installed front cover or grill. This part is available as an individual replacement part. It is a genuine OEM part for use with specific models of snow throwers, lawn tractors, electric mowers, chippers, and log splitters from Bolens, Cub Cadet, Craftsman, Poulan, Ryobi, Toro, MTD, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, and Yard-Man.

The clutch assembly uses centrifugal force to connect the shafts and create the drive shaft motion that powers the machine. The drive shaft nests inside the other shaft, and over time these parts can wear and become damaged with regular use. Today's parts can even continue to function long past when they should, so it may not be apparent that a clutch assembly needs to be replaced until the entire unit is bad. If the engine is not performing as it should or if the drive shaft seems unstable, it may be time to replace the clutch assembly. This genuine OEM part includes everything needed for the job. This OEM clutch replacement is designed for use with various cultivators, edgers, and trimmers. It can be used on machines from MTD, RYOBI, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Murray, and Husky. This assembly includes the clutch, clutch drum, washer, and left-hand threaded screw. Always disengage the spark plug and allow the engine to cool completely before beginning repairs.
This is an insulator assembly includes the insulator, seals, and hardware. It is designed to create the right spacing between the cylinder and carburetor on many blowers and trimmers made by various manufacturers. The insulator assembly also keeps heat from moving between the other components. Over time, the insulator assembly can become damaged or crack. When this occurs, air can reach the engine and create a condition where the engine can't perform at its best. If this happens, the insulator assembly will need to be replaced. Take off the air filter, drain the fuel, and remove the intake assembly. The insulator can be taken off of the engine before the replacement is added. Use mounting screws to fit the insulator to the other components. Reassemble the other parts to use the tool.This insulator assembly is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold as an individual part. This component is made to be used in leaf blowers, tillers, and string trimmers manufactured by Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Murray, Yard Machines, MTD, Bolens, and Yard-Man.
Replacement fuel cap assembly for tillers and outdoor power equipment. Seals fuel tank, prevents debris entry, and features vent slots. Needed when original cap is cracked, broken, or gasket is worn.
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. Compatible brands include Troy-Bilt, MTD, Yard-Man, Yard Machines, and Cub Cadet.

This is a genuine replacement screw designed for use in select MTD engines on lawn and garden equipment. Specifically, this is an anti-rotation screw, which is used to stop the drive shaft housing from turning inside of the main housing assembly. This screw is a small part that is subject to constant vibrations, pressure, and high temperatures. It can sometimes become worn or damaged as a result or even break off entirely, which would mean that the inner housing would no longer be held in place accordingly. If this screw is damaged or lost, it needs to be replaced with a genuine OEM replacement as soon as possible. This MTD anti-rotation screw is manufactured with high-quality materials and designed for use in select trimmers from MTD, RYOBI, Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Murray, Cub Cadet, Yard Machines, and Bolens. This replacement will require a screwdriver. Simply remove the damaged screw, if it is not already missing, from the clutch cover assembly, and then install the new screw. It should only take a few minutes to perform the replacement. Be sure to wear gloves to protect the hands. This screw is sold individually and does not include any additional parts or hardware.
