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.

This replacement part is a nut, and it is intended for use in different types of lawn equipment. This is a genuine replacement part made by Midwest Engine. A nut is a small, metal fastener that is usually connected to a threaded hole. Nuts are typically used along with a mating bolt so that it is able to fasten multiple parts together. A new nut might be needed if the user notices that the current ones are missing or damaged in any way. Though it is small, the nut is an important part of many types of machinery and can cause different parts to stop working or to not work as efficiently if the nuts are not in proper working condition. Be sure the machine is completely powered off before attempting to replace any parts. This small nut is sold individually, and it is intended for use in appliances made by Midwest Engine. This nut is an OEM replacement part.
Here is a replacement armature-magneto, also known as an ignition coil, for use with small engines. The part is capable of producing a high voltage, which is then used by the spark plugs, to start the engine. When the ignition coil is not working properly, it will be difficult and sometimes impossible to start the engine. If the spark plugs are not the problem with the engine starting, it could be due to a broken part on the armature-magneto due to wear and tear, the elements, or other forces. The armature-magneto may need to be replaced if it has failed. This is a genuine OEM replacement part sold individually. Spark plug boots will be sold separately. This part can be used for many models of snowblowers, tillers, lawn mowers, wood chippers, and other small engines.

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.
This genuine Midwest Engine starter drive is positioned between the starter motor shaft and the engine's crankshaft. The function of the starter drive is to coordinate motion between those parts, with the pinion on the starter drive aligning with the flywheel on the crankshaft. If the starter drive is suffering from damage, there may be a grinding noise coming from the gears, an improperly starting engine, or black smoke pouring out of the exhaust. If these symptoms point directly to the starter drive, then it must immediately be removed and replaced with a genuine OEM part before the appliance is used again. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This starter drive is compatible with the following brands: Midwest Engine, Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Toro, Cub Cadet, Wheel Horse, Lawn-Boy, MTD, MasterCut, and Simplicity.

This is an authentic OEM replacement flywheel ring gear for a lawn tractor engine. The flywheel ring gear is responsible for transferring torque to the crankshaft in order to initiate the engine. They are more commonly referred to as starter ring gears. The name flywheel refers to the ring gear's location attached to the flywheel. The flywheel ring gear is driven by a smaller pinion gear. One of the most common reasons for a flywheel ring gear to break is if it is misaligned during general maintenance. If the gear teeth are not set correctly and become mismatched, they will grind against each other and degrade to the point that they no longer work. Alternatively, the gear may not even turn. Therefore, it is important to make note of how the flywheel ring gear is lined up before removing it or making any repairs. The proper setting can also be found in the owner's manual. This replacement flywheel ring gear is compatible with Craftsman lawn tractors and comes sourced directly from Craftsman. This part includes the ring gear, a pinion gear, and the hardware required for assembly. These parts ship as a single unit.
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 genuine OEM replacement part is a spark plug terminal for a wide variety of small combustion engines. In a combustion engine, the spark plug generates a small electrical charge that creates enough power to start up the ignition and engage combustion. The plug connects to the ignition through the terminal. Spark plugs generate and then pass a small electrical current through to the ignition. Usually, the main issue with spark plugs is that this current hyper-extends and ends up frying the spark plug. However, if the terminal is damaged, the charge will not pass into the ignitor, and the engine will not turn. If the spark plug can carry a charge but the engine still won't turn, it's likely the terminal that needs replacing. This is an easy repair because the terminal should just snap on and off. If stuck, a pair of needle-nose pliers should make it easier. This high-quality replacement part is compatible with engines from Murray, Toro, Lawn Boy, and Briggs & Stratton. It is sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.
This replacement part is a nut. This part is small but important in various types of equipment. Nuts are able to work with other small parts such as washers and screws to secure equipment components in place.If a nut has become stripped or worn down over time, it is possible that it can no longer perform the function needed. Be sure to wear work gloves when working with small parts such as nuts to prevent injury during the repair. This is a genuine OEM replacement part manufactured by Midwest Engine. This part is sold individually.
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.
