It is an authentic OEM sourced item which is specially produced for use with lawn mowers made by MTD, Bolens, Yard Man, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, and Cub Cadet. The flange lock nut attaches to the rear wheel. It may require a socket set during installation and will need to be replaced if it becomes broken. This item is priced individually and is made out of metal.
It was very easy to figure out online what parts I needed. Actually bought extra Flange Lock Nuts as I didn\'t realize that they came with the axle assembly but it was no big deal. Borrowed a socket wrench from my son and the rest was a piece a cake. For around $35 including tax and shipping my lawn mower is like new. Used it yesterday!!

After replacing both front wheels, which were badly worn out, I replaced the adjustment piece thinking this would solve my problem. That was very simple, just 2 bolts.
The root cause of my problem was a worn out front deck, which resulted in the front axle not staying in place. While this sounds like a huge repair job, it\'
... Read mores not. Only 4 bolts hold the deck on, the new placement deck fit like a glove, now my mower works fine. I also replaced the front axle, just to be sure, so my \"front end\" job cost me a lot less than a new mower!
Put mower on wood plate form , Cut axle through and slid pieces out each end
Aligned axle and pressed axle into retaining tabs ,
Placed height adjustment lever over height adjustment bar , installed wheel and put locking nuts on end of axle ,and tightened nuts
