Murray 703986 Pushnut Retainer 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The MURRAY 703986 is a 3/8-inch pushnut retainer designed to secure shafts, pins, and fasteners in lawn and garden equipment. Pushnut retainers are one-piece stamped fasteners that grip the shaft when pressed on, locking components in place without threads or tools beyond a simple press fit. This part is used during routine maintenance and repair of Murray-branded outdoor power equipment and is typically installed by small-engine technicians or experienced DIYers performing deck, drivetrain, or attachment service.

This retainer is a direct replacement component used in Murray lawn and garden equipment, including walk-behind mowers, riding mowers, and related outdoor power equipment where 3/8-inch shaft fastening is required. It is a consumable hardware item often replaced during blade, wheel, or pulley service when the original retainer is deformed or lost during disassembly.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch pushnut design for tool-free, press-on installation
• One-piece stamped construction for reliable shaft retention
• OEM Murray replacement part for lawn and garden equipment
• Commonly used in deck, wheel, and drivetrain service applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement retainer for Murray lawn and garden equipment requiring a 3/8-inch pushnut fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by small-engine technicians or qualified DIYers during equipment disassembly and reassembly. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ensure all moving parts have come to a complete stop before beginning service. Pushnut retainers are pressed onto the shaft using a socket or flat press and are typically single-use components — install a new retainer any time the original has been removed.
