Mower Parts And Your Safety

Mower manufacturers use specific fasteners and specially designed parts to meet mowing operations requirements. Critical parts (self-locking blade bolts, blades, pins, shields and other special items) have specific strength, design and fit requirements for the make and model mower you are using.

Avoid possible death or serious injury from unapproved parts or modifications:

—Do not substitute common hardware for original manufacturer’s blade bolts or other special part items.

—Do not substitute for blades, pins, shields or other critical parts.

—Do not use higher strength bolts to replace original manufacturer’s shear bolts.
