I needed a replacement starter for my mower and wasn’t completely sure which one would fit. I sent them a message and they got back to me quickly, asked for my model information, and helped confirm the right part before I ordered. Everything was handled professionally and the communication was great. Very happy with the service.

Good To Know
Q: How do I know if my tailgate hinge bushings are worn? A: Signs of wear include a sagging tailgate, excessive side-to-side movement, or difficulty latching. If the tailgate drops slightly when opened, the pivot bushings are likely the cause.
Q: Can this kit be installed without special tools? A: Yes, the installation typically requires only basic hand tools such as a socket set and a hammer or punch to remove the old bushings and press in the new inserts.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
