MTD Genuine Part 951-14694 FUEL CAP ASSEMBLY OEM part for Troy-Bilt Cub-Cadet Craftsman Bolens Remington Ryobi Yardman Yard-Machine White Huskee Lawn

What It Is

The MTD Genuine Part 951-14694 is a direct-replacement fuel cap assembly designed for gas-powered walk-behind mowers, lawn tractors, and zero-turn models from Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Craftsman, Bolens, Remington, Ryobi, Yardman, Yard-Machine, White, and Huskee. It seals the fuel tank to prevent leaks and contamination.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify the following:

• OEM vs Aftermarket: This is an OEM MTD part (not generic). It fits any machine that originally used MTD cap part number 951-14694.
• Check your model number: Look for the model plate under the seat or on the mower frame. Compare to MTD cross-reference lists for Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Craftsman, etc.
• Thread size and cap style: Measure the fuel neck opening diameter (roughly 1.5 inches) and note if your cap is a twist-on or a push-in type. This cap is a threaded twist-on style.
• Vented vs non-vented: This cap is vented. If your original cap was non-vented (no air hole), this will cause fuel spillage when mowing on slopes. Check your old cap for a small vent hole.
• Not universal: Will not fit Honda, John Deere, Toro, or other non-MTD brands without adapter.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM part – expected to last 3-5 years under normal use. Avoid cheap knockoffs that crack or lose seal.
• Installation: Takes 30 seconds – just unscrew old cap, screw on new one. No tools needed.
• Common gotcha: If your mower runs rough or stalls after replacing, the vent may be blocked. Pinch the cap to test airflow.
• Return policy: Check seller’s return policy – some charge restocking if cap doesn’t fit your specific model.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if your original MTD cap is cracked, leaking, or missing, and you want a guaranteed fit for a Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Craftsman, or other MTD-brand mower. Skip it if you need a universal cap for a non-MTD machine or if your original cap was a non-vented design that worked fine on slopes.
