MTD 31057-261 — Shoulder bolt (adjuster lever)

A direct-fit shoulder bolt used in height‑adjuster and adjuster‑lever assemblies: a precision shoulder plus threaded shank that locates the lever while allowing smooth pivot action. This replacement is the same 31057-261 shoulder bolt referenced across Danarm/Shanks/Lawnflite/Cobra parts diagrams, so it’s the correct repair item when the adjuster lever pivot or wheel‑stay pivot has lost its shoulder or stripped thread. Perfect when you need a single replacement from your stock of power tool parts to restore correct deck‑height operation. Example compatible listings include Danarm/Kaaz LM5360HXAR series and Lawnflite 553HRS (also shown as fitting Cobra RM53SPH and similar height‑adjuster assemblies).
