This oil seal is a common part engineered to work in engines that power generators, vacuum cleaners, snowblowers, leaf blowers, mowers, and other small engine applications. The seal sits between the crankcase and the crankshaft. It is designed as a barrier to prevent oil leakage and to stop contaminants from leaving the crankcase. When the gasoline engine exhibits diminished power, and especially if it begins to emit oily gray or bluish smoke, there is a good chance the oil seal needs to be replaced. In order to replace the faulty seal, begin by removing the starter housing and taking off the nut that holds the starter wheel to the main shaft. The user will find the old seal on this shaft. Remove it and install the new seal, pushing it into place with the edges of a socket, then tapping it securely into place with a hammer. When choosing a replacement seal, remember to use an OEM genuine replacement part that is guaranteed to match the specs for the original part. This will ensure a quality match and long replacement life. This seal is compatible with Toro, Lawn-Boy, and Briggs & Stratton engines.

This OEM replacement part is a crankcase gasket for lawnmowers. The crankcase gasket is used to seal the two halves of the crankcase. If the crankcase gasket is no longer sealing properly, it might need to be replaced. Luckily, this is a relatively simple repair. Before beginning, make sure the engine has cooled. Once cooled, locate the old crankcase gasket. Tilt the mower on its side. Once tilted, remove the blade of the mower. After removed, clean any dirt that might be on the crankshaft. Drill a small hole into the old seal and be careful not to damage the crankshaft. Insert a screw into the drilled hole and use it to pry off the old crank gasket seal. Once removed, install the new crankcase gasket. Reinstall the blade, and tilt the mower back to its upright position.This genuine replacement part is sold individually and is compatible with MTD brand lawnmowers.

The oil drain plug plays an important role in lawn and garden machines, although most only realize how important it is when it is not working properly.

This is a genuine replacement piston assembly for Briggs & Stratton lawn tractors. It is responsible for compressing the fuel and air mixture inside the cylinder prior to ignition. Several O-rings are used to ensure a tight seal for more power in the ignition.The piston assembly is made of hardened steel capable of withstanding an incredible amount of pressure during ignition. The O-rings and clips in the kit are made of rubber and PVC material also made to withstand extreme pressure and heat. Though not common, the piston itself can fail with extreme use. More commonly, the seals break down and require replacing. Our piston assembly is a genuine OEM replacement part, sold individually. It is compatible with many Briggs & Stratton tractors.

This ring set is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is made explicitly for lawn and garden engines found on Briggs & Stratton machines. These rings are found between the walls of the cylinder and piston. The rings prevent combustion gasses from getting into the crankcase. Over time, the rings can become worn and damaged, causing loss of engine compression, power loss, and even total engine failure. Signs that the rings are bad include white or gray smoke coming from the exhaust, loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and low or no accelerating power. A ring expander, screwdriver, and socket set are necessary to complete this project. Remove the spark plug wire before removing and replacing the ring set to prevent accidentally starting the engine. Drain the fuel into a clean container. Remove the engine. Locate and remove the piston. Open the piston and remove the rings using the ring expander. Install the new rings in the same order the old ones were removed. Reinstall the piston top, and then reinstall all engine parts in the same manner. Install engine and refuel the machine. This ring set is made of durable metal and is sold as an individual part. The ring set is specially made for small engines manufactured by Briggs & Stratton.

This exhaust gasket is a genuine Midwest Engine replacement part for appliances that use small engines, such as chipper shredders, snowblowers, leaf blowers, and lawn mowers. The function of an exhaust gasket is to seal off the carburetor from the exhaust tube in order to protect the engine from the accumulation of dirt, debris, and gunk within the inner workings. The exhaust gasket may require replacement over time from general wear and tear. If the exhaust gasket is not sealing, allowing dirt and debris to accumulate within the carburetor and leaving the exhaust tube exposed, the part should be replaced immediately. Evidence of a damaged exhaust gasket could also manifest in the form of oil leakage, black smoke arising out of the exhaust tube, and unusually low pressure from the combustion when using the appliance. Any of these symptoms can be attributable to multiple factors, so one should assess if the exhaust gasket is responsible before ordering a replacement.This exhaust gasket is compatible with the following brands: Briggs and Stratton, Cub Cadet, Toro, and Simplicity. This part sold individually.
