Product Description

?

This genuine screw is supplied directly from the original equipment manufacturer for use with Craftsman walk-behind lawn mowers and snowblowers. Check the diagrams for your model to ensure the correct repair procedure. The square area under the head is designed to fit into a square hole in the workpiece. It is this square hole that restrains the screw and keeps it from turning when the nut is tightened. This screw is made of high-quality metal and is sold individually. A wrench might be needed to replace this hardware.

I removed the wing screw from the handle by hack sawing through the old wing knob. Then plied off the plastic from the carriage bolt, and installed the new handle wing knob securely clockwise. I figured the carriage screw threads had probably smoothed over after repeated removal in the past. The wing knob wouldn\'t allow me to unscrew t he bolt. That is why I needed the hack saw.
