This replacement friction spring is a genuine OEM part meant for any number of small appliance engines run using a starter rope. This spring absorbs large amounts of kinetic energy that could damage the starter rope pulley system. It helps keep the pulley from being overstretched, which would create enough pressure to break the entire system. This spring sits at the center of the pulley system and creates resistance as the user yanks the starter rope. Friction springs can become worn out after repeated use, especially if a user tends to yank the starter rope quite forcefully. The most obvious sign of a worn of friction spring is if the pulley system lacks any resistance. As the user pulls the cord, they should feel a little pull back, but if the friction spring is worn, there will be much less resistance. Replacing this part is straightforward and will only require a screwdriver. Simply open the pulley system, carefully remove the old spring, and install the new one. This part is compatible with a wide number of appliances from Toro, Vanguard, Briggs & Stratton, and Lawnboy. It comes sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.

This is an authentic OEM replacement flywheel ring gear for a lawn tractor engine. The flywheel ring gear is responsible for transferring torque to the crankshaft in order to initiate the engine. They are more commonly referred to as starter ring gears. The name flywheel refers to the ring gear's location attached to the flywheel. The flywheel ring gear is driven by a smaller pinion gear. One of the most common reasons for a flywheel ring gear to break is if it is misaligned during general maintenance. If the gear teeth are not set correctly and become mismatched, they will grind against each other and degrade to the point that they no longer work. Alternatively, the gear may not even turn. Therefore, it is important to make note of how the flywheel ring gear is lined up before removing it or making any repairs. The proper setting can also be found in the owner's manual. This replacement flywheel ring gear is compatible with Craftsman lawn tractors and comes sourced directly from Craftsman. This part includes the ring gear, a pinion gear, and the hardware required for assembly. These parts ship as a single unit.

This genuine OEM replacement part is a spark plug terminal for a wide variety of small combustion engines. In a combustion engine, the spark plug generates a small electrical charge that creates enough power to start up the ignition and engage combustion. The plug connects to the ignition through the terminal. Spark plugs generate and then pass a small electrical current through to the ignition. Usually, the main issue with spark plugs is that this current hyper-extends and ends up frying the spark plug. However, if the terminal is damaged, the charge will not pass into the ignitor, and the engine will not turn. If the spark plug can carry a charge but the engine still won't turn, it's likely the terminal that needs replacing. This is an easy repair because the terminal should just snap on and off. If stuck, a pair of needle-nose pliers should make it easier. This high-quality replacement part is compatible with engines from Murray, Toro, Lawn Boy, and Briggs & Stratton. It is sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.

This is an OEM replacement part for the recoil pulley and spring assembly, also called the rewind pulley and spring.
