Murray 704279 Hex Flange Nut 5/16-24

Product Description

The MURRAY 704279 is a hex flange nut in a 5/16-24 thread size, designed for use in Murray lawn and garden equipment. The integrated flange provides a wider bearing surface than a standard hex nut, distributing load more evenly and reducing the need for a separate washer. This fastener is a direct OEM replacement part intended for technicians and service professionals performing maintenance or repair on Murray-branded outdoor power equipment.

This nut is used in lawn and garden equipment applications where a secure, vibration-resistant fastener connection is required. The fine 24-thread-per-inch pitch provides strong clamping force and resistance to loosening under operational vibration, making it appropriate for drivetrain, blade, and deck assembly service points common to Murray equipment.

Key Features

• Hex flange design eliminates the need for a separate flat washer at the bearing surface
• 5/16-24 fine thread pitch for strong clamping and vibration resistance
• OEM replacement part sourced from Murray
• Compatible with standard 5/16-24 threaded fastener applications on Murray equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fastener for Murray lawn and garden equipment requiring a 5/16-24 hex flange nut.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified small-engine or outdoor power equipment technician. Disengage the blade, remove the ignition key, and disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any fastener service on mower decks or drivetrain components. Use a properly sized wrench or socket to avoid rounding the hex. Follow the equipment manufacturer's service manual for proper torque procedures.
