Parts for Briggs & Stratton 326431-0128-99: Electric Starter 1 Parts

This starter drive is a part of the starter system that helps to engage the engine. When it is energized, the gears are activated and turned, which engages the flywheel and starts the engine. This is a critical step in the firing process and lawn equipment will not run if the starter goes bad. Over time, gears can wear out and other damage can occur, resulting in a need for a replacement of the entire assembly or certain parts. It is generally easier to replace the entire assembly. This OEM replacement electric starter drive kit is designed for use with select Briggs & Stratton engines that can be found on various equipment, including lawn tractors and lawn mowers. The kit features a new style starter along with a retainer, composite drive gear, starter gear, return spring, retention plate, clutch drive, and the washer and clip to ensure a secure attachment of all parts. It is important to disconnect the spark plug before working on engine components. This starter drive kit is sold as a single unit and comes with a total of nine pieces.

A pinion gear is a small cylindrical component that is integral with a rack and pinion mechanism. Together with the rack, its primary function is to transform rotational movement into linear motion. Machines like lawnmowers and lawn tractors have a rack and pinion system. When the steering wheel of a tractor is moved, the gear will rotate, which engages the rack. Although this component is exceptionally durable, it is still subject to wear and tear. Some symptoms of a bad rack and gear mechanism include a loose or tight steering wheel and a grinding noise. Performing a do-it-yourself rack and gear replacement is possible and takes only 30 to 45 minutes. If the rack is in good condition, but the gear is not, omly a pinion gear replacement may be needed. This brand-new, genuine Midwest Engine 695708 pinion ensures quality and compatibility with lawn tractors, generators, mowers, and engines from Midwest Engine, Briggs & Stratton, and Craftsman. The gear is sold individually. An original Midwest Engine Gear Ring is not included.

This brush retainer is part of the starter motor on many types of lawn and garden machinery. It comes with both the retainer and a set of four brushes. The main job of the brush retainer is to hold a set of carbon brushes against the commutator bars located on the armature. If the brush retainer is worn, damaged, or improperly seated, it can cause problems with the equipment. The starter motor will not be able to get the proper amount of current from the battery.If the brush retainer might be causing problems, a visual inspection can be performed. A damaged brush retainer can wear down to the wire lead and become burned, pitted, or cracked. When the brush retainer is worn out, it can decrease engine performance, reduce braking, and cause the motor to lose power. This brush retainer is an authentic OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold as an individual part. The retainer is made to be used with lawnmowers, snowblowers, tillers, and wood chippers created by Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Toro, Cub Cadet, Lawn-Boy, Snapper, MTD, and Simplicity.
