ANTO 532139277 Fuel Tank Stem & 532003645 Bushing Kit for Husqvarna Craftsman AYP Series parts

What It Is

This kit includes the fuel tank stem (532139277) and a mounting bushing (532003645) for Husqvarna, Craftsman, and AYP series lawn tractors. It replaces a worn or broken fuel tank outlet and stabilizes the tank to prevent leaks and vibration damage.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your model number: Fits Husqvarna GTH, YTH, and LTH series; Craftsman LT and GT models; and AYP (American Yard Products) chassis from the 1990s–2010s. Common compatible models include Husqvarna YTH18542, Craftsman 917.xxxxx, and Poulan Pro PPB series.
• Measure your tank outlet: The stem has a 1/4" internal diameter and a barbed end for a 5/16" fuel hose. If your tank uses a different hose size or a threaded fitting, this won’t work.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket replacement for OEM part numbers 532139277 and 532003645. It matches OEM specs but may have slightly different plastic texture or color.
• Verify bushing hole: The bushing fits a 1/2" mounting hole on the tank bracket. Measure your bracket hole before ordering.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy (15–30 minutes). Requires basic hand tools (socket wrench, pliers) and a small flathead screwdriver to remove the old stem. No special skills needed.
• Common gotcha: The stem can crack if over-tightened. Hand-tighten only, then add a quarter turn with a wrench. Use fuel-resistant thread sealant (not Teflon tape) on the tank threads to prevent leaks.
• Quality note: 4.5 stars from 82 reviews. Most users report a perfect fit, but 5% mention the bushing is slightly thin—use a small washer if it’s loose.
• What to check before installing: Inspect your fuel tank for cracks or warping. If the tank is damaged, the new stem won’t seal properly.

Should You Buy It

Buy this kit if your mower’s fuel tank stem is cracked, leaking, or broken, and you have a compatible Husqvarna, Craftsman, or AYP model. It’s a cheap, easy fix that stops fuel leaks and avoids a full tank replacement. Skip it if your tank is damaged or you need a different hose size.
