This is a genuine Craftsman replacement part for use in lawn tractors. It helps to connect the deflector rod to the deflector shield. The metal push nut is a small part and will need to be replaced if it becomes lost or broken. A screwdriver and a set of pliers may be needed to replace this part. This item is sold individually.
1. Removed mounting bracket from mower.
2. Inserted rod through the shield, spring and mounting bracket.
3. Placed push nut on end of rod to hold rod in place.
4. Reattached bracket with shield/deflector attached back onto mower to complete repair.
Installed a new deflector shield and parts needed for complete installation. Somehow I lost the push nut so I drilled the deflector rod where the nut should have went and placed a fender washer and cotter pin. Worked fine.

Shield Deflector was broken. Ordered all the new parts to mount it. Very easy and all the parts fit perfect.
Assembled the deflector parts to the deflector, unscrewed the two nuts and bolts that held it on, and assembled. Simple when you have the correct parts. Thank You e-replacement.
