MTD Genuine Parts Troy Bilt 732-04219C Clutch Lock Spring
Feb 28, 2023
New spring improves handle interlock, but not completely.
The new spring definitely improved the clutch lock (auger handle) engagement when the wheels are turning, however performance is not perfectly like new -- auger handle drops out by itself on occasion. I suspect the detent in the auger handle is worn or slightly rounded. I did not try bending the new spring into a more pronounced Z-shape, as suggested by another reviewer. Seller's shipping arrive well ahead of schedule, so good job.
Snowblower belt has robust, reinforced construction, and dimensions match my Craftsman p/n 754-0367/954-0367. I have not tried it yet, as I bought it for a spare. Belt is made in Taiwan, as opposed to China, which was a factor in my purchase. Very good value and prompt shipping.
Haven't tried the shear pins, but they're dimensionally identical to the Craftsman brand pins for my snowblower. Package says "made in India", and complete with cotter pins. Shear pins are silver color, rather than gold as pictured. Quality appears good & shipping was fast.
