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 self-tapping screw is used to attach various parts to the engine housing of medium sized gasoline powered engines, in particular yard tools such as tillers, snow blowers, yard tractors, riding mowers, power vacuums, shredders, and chippers. It is used in over 150 different gasoline powered engines. Screws such as these are used particularly when a device is going to receive a great amount of vibration and stress while the engine is running and rotating tools are engaged. Such devices sustain a great deal of wear over time and the parts subject to replacement will eventually fail and need to be replaced. In such cases, it is wisest to replace the attaching hardware such as housing screws as well, because it is a self-tapping screw. Screws of this type are designed to forge a tight bond between the metal pieces they are securing together, but once loosened, they should ideally be replaced with new hardware. Make sure when replacing these screws to use genuine OEM parts like these screws. These replacement parts are manufactured to be identical to the original pieces. This hex screw is compatible with the following brands: MasterCut, Yard-Man, Yard Machine, Montgomery Wards, MTC, Murray, Bolens, Craftsman, Turf King, Troy Bilt, Cub Cadet, Huskee, Toro, and Ryobi.

This is a flanged lock nut. It’s designed to apply tension, typically on a joint that needs to have a certain amount of flex. As such, it’s mostly used on snowblower chutes and lawnmower handles. They can remain in place, but with a forgiving connection that can take a beating. The nut size is 3/8, with a thread size of 16. A lock nut will generally last for many years. However, the silicone ring inside will wear down if it’s frequently tightened and loosened. It needs to be replaced when it will no longer reliably remain in place. Generally, this begins as a symptom of slight slippage and worsens as time goes on. Thankfully, whether it’s being used on a snowblower or a lawnmower, this nut is generally straightforward to access. Simply unscrew the old nut, then screw the new nut on until it’s nice and tight. Our flanged lock nuts are genuine OEM MTD nuts, and they are sold individually.

This lock washer is used frequently for a number of applications on power yard equipment. The size, 5/16, is the default for many small engine housing and manifold applications. Lock washers are used with machined bolts to fasten engine blocks to the housing of the equipment being used. The compressed washer is able to handle the constant vibration of the small gasoline engine without losing the seal between the screw or bolt and the housing. Typically these lock washers only need to be replaced when they are misplaced during repairs or when the screws that attach them have to be chiseled or cut away, meaning the washers are destroyed as well. These OEM certified replacement washers have been manufactured to the same specifications as the originals they are replacing. In addition to lawn mowers, lock washers of this type and size are frequently used on blowers, lawn tractors, cultivators, snowblowers, and trimmers. Brands compatible with this type of washer are Murray, Husky, Poulan, Bolens, Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, MTD, and Ryobi.

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.

This flat washer is used to attach the idler pulley in a number of small and medium sized gasoline powered engines. These engines include snow blowers, log splitters, riding mowers, lawn tractors, and chippers. Because the idler pulley is subject to a great deal of resistance when the pulley is engaged, eventually the pulley will wear out. Should there be a squealing sound when engaging the drive, the problem is likely the idler pulley. In these cases, the pulley must be replaced. It is a good idea to replace the surrounding hardware when replacing the idler pulley; tNhis includes the flat washer, which is subject to corrosion during heavy use. To replace the idler pulley, first detach the spark plug cap. If on a mower or tractor, drop the mower deck. Remove the original pulley and install in order: replacement pulley, hex bolt, flat washer, flange nut. Apart from dropping the mower deck, the only tools required to complete this installation may be a 9/16 ratchet and combination wrench. This washer is a genuine OEM replacement part, designed to perfectly replicate the original piece. This washer is compatible with Troy-Bilt, Yard Man, Yard Machines, MTD, and Craftsman devices.

A V-belt is used on riding lawn mowers and yard tractors to turn the blades and the accessories of these power tools. The engine pulley, which supplies power, is connected to the cutting deck pulley, which turns the mower blades, with a V-belt. Over time the V-belt, which is made of rubber, may stretch, calling for the tension on the belt to be adjusted. Eventually the belt will wear to the point that it no longer turns the cutting deck pulley fast enough for the blades to cut grass. Sometimes the belt will crack with dry rot and break. In any of these instances, the solution is to replace the V-belt. In order to replace the V-belt, the cutting deck must be lowered completely. A worn belt will likely slip off the cutting pulley with little resistance. In case the belt is missing, the user will find a diagram with the proper V-belt routing on top of the cutting deck. When replacing the V-belt, make sure to use a genuine OEM replacement part such as this one, which is manufactured to be an exact replacement for the original. This V-belt is compatible with riding mowers from MTD, Murray, Huskee, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, and Yard Man.
