Murray 703179 Pushnut Cap Type Fastener

Product Description

The MURRAY 703179 is a cap-type pushnut fastener designed for secure, tool-free installation on shafts, studs, or bolts. Pushnuts of this style use internal prongs that grip the shaft on contact, creating a vibration-resistant hold without threading. Once seated, the cap-style design covers the fastener end for a clean, finished appearance. This type of hardware is commonly installed by equipment technicians and service professionals during assembly, repair, or parts replacement on outdoor power equipment.

The 703179 is a MURRAY OEM accessory intended for use in lawn and garden equipment applications. Cap-type pushnuts are typically found securing wheels, pulleys, blades, and other rotating or sliding assemblies where a fast, reliable fastener is needed without the use of a threaded nut and wrench.

Installation Notes

Cap-type pushnuts are installed by pressing firmly onto the target shaft or stud until the prongs seat fully. Disengage all power and remove ignition keys before servicing any outdoor power equipment. These fasteners are typically single-use; replace with a new pushnut if the existing one is removed. Consult the equipment service manual for the correct shaft diameter and pushnut size before installation.
