MTD 24A-020D000, 24A-060F401, 24A-203B401, 24A-462G000, 24A-465A000 Parts Catalog

You’ve got a chipper-shredder that won’t feed right, or a snow thrower that’s missing a belt. You pull it apart, find the broken piece, then spend an hour digging through generic parts sites hoping the picture matches. That’s wasted time. I’ve been turning wrenches for twenty-eight years, and the MTD 24A-020D000, 24A-060F401, 24A-203B401, 24A-462G000, 24A-465A000 Parts Catalog is exactly what you need to land the right part the first time. This isn’t a reprint or a third-party hack job – it’s the actual OEM document straight from MTD’s 2003/2004 fall/winter product line. 131 pages of exploded diagrams and factory part numbers. You look up your model, find the assembly, and read the part number off the page. No guessing.

Chipper-Shredder Vac Assembly (Pages 2–4)

Page 2 shows the exploded view for model series 020. That’s your 24A-020D000 and 24A-060F401. The bag assembly, height adjustment bracket, pivot arm – every single screw is listed with its part number. Need the handle knob? Part number 720-0241. The wheel? 734-1987. Don’t trust your calipers when you can read the spec off the OEM chart. This is how you order from MTD or your dealer without getting hung up on the phone.

Snow Thrower Coverage (Pages 27–54)

Snow throwers take up a big chunk of this catalog. Over twenty-five pages dedicated to models from 31B-140-000 up through 31AH660G000. Page 27 starts with the smaller units, page 34 jumps into the 31A-380D000. Each model gets its own illustration with callouts. You want the auger paddle for a 31AE600E000? You find it on page 48. The catalog gives you the part number, then you cross-check with the parts list at the bottom of the page. Simple. Direct. Works every time.

Log Splitter and Leaf Blower Sections

Not everything in here is snow gear. Log splitters start on page 17 with models 24AF501B000 through 24AF510B000, and the leaf blower pops up on page 25 (model 24A-652D000). If you’re rebuilding a hydraulic log splitter, you need the correct seal kit and wedge part numbers. This catalog breaks it down. For the leaf blower, the impeller and housing are listed with tolerances you can use to verify aftermarket parts. I’ve seen DIYers bolt on a cheap impeller that rubs because they didn’t check the OEM dimensions. That stops here.

131 Pages of Factory Specs – No Guesswork

Flip through to page 1, and you get the master index. Every model number and its page range. That’s where you start. Then you go to the drawing, read the reference number, and match it to the part description. The catalog uses the same part numbering system MTD used in 2003–2004, so if you own one of these machines, this is the only source that’s guaranteed accurate. I’ve seen aftermarket catalogs that swap parts or omit revisions. This one doesn’t. It’s a scan of the original MTD publication, watermarked with the dealer contact info (mymowerparts.com). That tells you it’s legit.

Why OEM Parts Documentation Matters

You ever try to rebuild a 24A-462G000 chipper-shredder using a generic exploded view from a parts store’s computer? Good luck. The mounting holes shift, the fasteners change length, and you end up with a bag that doesn’t seal. The factory catalog catches all that. For example, the 24A-203B401 uses a specific upper handle (749-0438D) and a different bag assembly than the 24A-462G000. You won’t see that distinction in a third-party source. This manual lists each variant separately, pages 9–14 for 24A-203B401 and pages 15–16 for the 24A-462G000 and 24A-465A000. If you’re restoring a machine that’s been dropped or modded, you can trace the original design and order the correct parts.

Related Manuals Worth Having

If you’re doing more than just parts replacement – say you need torque specs for an engine rebuild – grab the MTD AC3 2010 Workshop Manual – OEM Factory Specs for 4-Cycle Trimmer Engines and the MTD 700 series 2010 Workshop Manual – OEM Torque Specs & Repair. For complete overhaul information, the MTD 700 Series 2010 Repair Manual – OEM Factory Shop Manual gives you step-by-step procedures. This parts catalog works best when you pair it with those workshop manuals.

For background on the engines used in these machines, this Wikipedia article on diesel engines explains the operating principles, though most MTD fall/winter equipment runs on gasoline. Still, understanding combustion basics helps when you diagnose a no-start after a part swap.

FAQ – Common Questions About This Parts Catalog

Does this catalog cover engine internal parts like pistons and rings?

No, it’s strictly a chassis and attachment parts list. Engines are covered in separate MTD engine manuals, which we stock as well.

How do I find the exact page for my model number?

Turn to page 1, the master index. Each model number is listed with its starting page. For example, 24A-020D000 begins on page 2, 24A-060F401 on page 5, and so on.

Can I use this catalog to order parts for a 24A-462G000 that has been modified?

If the modifications are factory optional, the diagrams show both standard and optional assemblies. For custom fabrication, the dimensions in the drawings give you a reference, but the catalog alone won’t guarantee fitment for non-OEM parts. this Wikipedia article on diesel engines won’t help there, but understanding the original geometry will.

Is the PDF searchable for part numbers?

The file is a scanned document with OCR, so you can search for alphanumeric terms like “749-0438D” directly. On page 3 you’ll find the full parts list for the 24A-020D000 – including that handle – with the reference numbers mapped to the exploded view.
