MTD chipper/shredder repair and replacement parts

The curb appeal of your home relies on a well-maintained lawn, and MTD chipper shredders help you keep tree clippings, stray limbs and other debris from marring its good looks. Use these handy machines to reduce the volume of your yard waste, speeding up collection and disposal. Models with built-in vacuums and collection bags keep your waste all in one place so you can haul it away or use it for mulch. When your chipper/shredder isn't working as it should, find the MTD chipper shredder parts you need to fix the problem at Sears PartsDirect.

Most common MTD chipper shredder parts that need replacing

  • Engine air filter. The engine air filter cleans the air entering the carburetor. Replace the air filter periodically, following the guidelines in the owner's manual.
  • Carburetor. The engine carburetor mixes air and gas before the fuel mix goes to the cylinder for combustion.
  • Recoil starter. The recoil starter spins the crankshaft to start the engine when you pull the rope.
  • Engine gasket set. The engine gasket set includes all of the seals and gaskets for the engine on your chipper/shredder. Replace any gaskets that are damaged or leaking.

Installing the hopper on your MTD chipper/shredder

  • Attach the hopper to the rotor housing. Make sure that you engage the metal lip of the hopper liner inside the rotor housing.
  • Secure the hopper to the rotor housing using the mounting bolts and washers. Don't tighten the mounting bolts at this time.
  • From inside the hopper, install the mounting bolts and washers into the upper lower holes of the metal hopper liner. Finger tighten the bolts at this time.
  • Make sure that the hopper is seated correctly on the chipper/shredder then tighten all mounting bolts firmly.
