MTD 738-04367 Spare Part - Scr:shldr:flg:.312x3.5x1/4-20

738-04367 is a shoulder (shoulder/flange) screw used on MTD-family outdoor-power equipment (sold under brands like Cub Cadet, Troy‑Bilt, Yard‑Machines and some Craftsman models).

Product description
- Replacement shoulder (flanged) screw for chute/chute‑control assemblies on MTD-family snowthrowers and similar outdoor equipment. Designed to locate and pivot moving chute parts while carrying shear and alignment loads.
- Key dimensions (converted to metric): shoulder diameter ≈ 7.9 mm, shoulder length ≈ 12.7 mm, thread major diameter ≈ 6.35 mm (1/4"‑20 UNC thread). Use where a 7.9 mm shoulder and 1/4"‑20 threaded hole are required.
- Form and fit: flanged head with a machined shoulder (acts as a precise spacer/bearing surface) — intended to replace the original manufacturer’s shoulder screw in the chute/bracket assemblies.

Example models that use part number 738‑04367 (examples only)
- Cub Cadet 11530C (model plate 31AH75KU596) and multiple 2X series snowthrowers such as 2X 24 and 2X 26 variants (examples: 31AM5BTR709, 31AM5BTR710, 31AM56SS710).
- Yard Machines / MTD snowthrower series and some Craftsman models that share MTD parts use the same shoulder screw in their chute assemblies.

Why this part matters
- The shoulder provides a smooth, precisely sized bearing surface so the chute pivots freely and retains correct alignment; worn or missing shoulder screws cause sloppy chute movement or misalignment of chute controls. Use this exact replacement when your original shoulder diameter/length and thread spec match the housing.
