The flywheel key is the component on outdoor equipment that keeps the flywheel connected to the crankshaft. Over time, this key may become damaged or broken, particularly if the engine experiences a forceful stop, like hitting a large stationary object. If the flywheel key breaks, the engine will not start. A slightly damaged flywheel key is noticeable through symptoms like misfiring, backfiring, or having no power. If any of these are occurring, the flywheel key should be replaced to prevent complete engine failure.A flywheel puller tool is required for this repair. Make sure the engine is cool before working on the flywheel. Wear safety gear, including gloves and eye protection. Disconnect the spark plug and remove the blower housing. Remove the flywheel mounting nut and set it aside. Take the recoil starter cup off the mower. Use the flywheel puller to remove the flywheel and access the flywheel key. Remove the broken flywheel and replace it with the new flywheel. Reverse the steps to put the mower back together.This flywheel key is made of an aluminum alloy and is sold as an individual part. It is designed for use in lawnmowers, lawn tractors, and other small engines manufactured by Briggs and Stratton, Toro, Lawn-Boy, Simplicity, MTD, and others.

This O-ring seal is used in all sorts of lawn and garden equipment as a seal for the oil dipstick. It helps seal the system from debris and dirt that could otherwise reach the oil and end up in the motor. Over time, an O-ring will start to shrink, which can result in air and oil leaks and a poorly performing engine. If the O-ring has pits, blisters, or pocks on the surface, it will also need to be replaced.If an O-ring seal is worn, damaged, or clogged, it should be cleaned or replaced before the equipment that houses it is used again. A flat head screwdriver can be used to remove the damaged O-ring. Once the old one has been removed, a new one can be placed into the same position before using the tool.This O-ring seal is designed for lawnmowers, snowblowers, tillers, wood chippers, pressure washers, generators, and leaf blowers. It is compatible with equipment from Simplicity, Briggs & Stratton, MTD, Craftsman, Snapper, Toro, Lawn-Boy, and Cub Cadet. The seal is a genuine OEM replacement part directly sourced from the manufacturer. It comes with a single seal.
