The oil seal is designed to stop fluid from leaking out, as well as to ensure that dirt and other debris do not make their way into the oil.

If the oil seal has been damaged or has degraded because of wear and tear, it will need to be replaced. Some of the signs that the oil seal might be bad include leaks or an engine that is not performing properly. Users might also notice that the machine is going through oil quickly.

This screw is a genuine Tecumseh replacement part for several different kinds of small engines, including lawn tractors, lawn mowers, snowblowers, woodchippers, and generators. A screw's function is to tightly join parts together through rotation of the screw. This prevents the materials from loosening and unfastening over time. A screw might be misplaced or lost the screw altogether, since it is a small object that can easily fall out of its place and disappear if loosened. Other reasons to replace a screw can include the gradual deterioration, erosion, cracking, or piercing over time; this kind of damage can be attributed to general overuse or exposure to the elements. If a screw is subject to any of this kind of damage, it is best to replace it before using the appliance at hand, as the pieces must continue to be held together by the screw. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This screw is compatible with the brands Tecumseh, Craftsman, Toro, and Briggs and Stratton.
