Briggs & Stratton Chipper Shredder Engine

This authentic OEM replacement push rod connects to the camshaft on small or medium sized gas-powered lawn tractor engines, and as the camshaft turns, the push rod transfers that motion into the valves. Without a functioning push rod, the valves will not open and the engine will not work. Push rods also act as transferring units that bring oil through the valves and into the camshaft. If these parts start to stick due to poor lubrication, push rods can bend and will no longer work properly. It is also possible, though rare, for a push rod to bend due to general metal fatigue over time. To identify a bent push rod, listen for a ticking sound in the engine and look out for any slipping gears. Accessing the push rods will mean taking apart the camshaft and valves and may require the user's manual. This replacement part is sourced from its original manufacturer and is compatible with Craftsman and Briggs & Stratton lawn tractors. It ships individually.
