MTD 781-0735 — Retaining Pin Clip (genuine MTD). This small metal clip is the factory replacement that secures the flail/clevis pin or blade bail on MTD chipper‑shredder, vacuum and similar units; it’s sold individually and installs by clipping into place to keep the flail/blade assembly from shifting or coming loose.

Why this part: it’s the original MTD retainer designed specifically for chipper/shredder/vac applications (a safety‑critical hardware item that prevents excessive vibration and lost components), and it replaces cross‑reference numbers used by parts suppliers.

Example compatible models (representative list): Craftsman 24A‑030E799, MTD 24A‑020C706, Troy‑Bilt 24A‑424B063, Huskee 24A‑464C131, Yard Machines 24A‑464B762 — this clip is used across many chipper/shredder and vac models from MTD and related brands, so it’s a common fix when that retainer is missing or worn.

Easy to fit: simple hand‑press installation (no special tools on most models), sold as a single metal retaining clip — keep one in your box of power tool parts for a quick, correct repair that restores safe operation.
