Parts for Briggs & Stratton 121412-0175-E2: Crankcase Cover / Sumps, Cylinder Group, Kits / Gasket - Engine Parts

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.

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. The plug fits into the oil drain at the bottom of the motor. It is removed to allow the oil to be drained from the motor when changing the oil. The durable oil drain plug may need to be replaced if it is no longer working properly. There could be leaks that allow the oil to escape from the motor, which would indicate it needs to be replaced. If the plug is lost, it will need to be replaced, as well. The genuine OEM replacement oil drain plug is sold individually. It is used for lawn mowers, snowblowers, tillers, leaf blowers, pressure washers, chainsaws, edgers, log splitters, wood chippers, heat pumps, generators, and other small engines. Compatible brands include Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Kenmore, Toro, Cub Cadet, Homelite, Murray, Lawn-Boy, Snapper, and Simplicity.

Any damage may cause oil to leak which can lead to additional problems within the machine itself. Be sure to wear work gloves during this repair as oil is difficult to remove from hands.

This part is sold individually and is sourced directly from the manufacturer to ensure proper fit and long-lasting use.

This is a genuine replacement oil fill cap that is found on many lawn and garden engines. The oil fill cap is responsible for securing the oil dipstick and fill tube. This small plastic plug screws into the oil fill tube with plastic threads and secures the oil, keeping it from leaking and providing the appropriate engine pressure. Over time, this small plastic piece can become worn, corroded, damaged, or even lost, which will require a full replacement. Without an oil fill cap, the pressure cannot be maintained in the engine and the oil could spill out of the machine. This genuine OEM oil fill cap is manufactured by Briggs & Stratton to exact standards. It is compatible with engines and equipment from this brand, as well as those from Toro, Snapper, and Vanguard. The oil fill cap is sold as an individual part and does not include the dipstick or any other parts and accessories. It is a good idea to inspect caps and other elements when performing maintenance to ensure proper operation. When replacing the filler cap, no tools are required, but the engine should be cool before doing any kind of work.
