Parts for Briggs & Stratton 243431-0139-99: Engine Base, Dipstick Parts

This replacement oil drain plug is a genuine OEM part for a lawn tractor or generator engine. The oil drain plug connects to the base of the oil tank and allows the appliance owner to drain used oil and replace it with new, clean oil. The oil drain plug is threaded to screw into the oil tank and prevent it from popping out of place while the appliance is in use. The most likely reason to replace an oil drain plug is if the old plug's threading has become stripped and no longer holds onto the oil tank. Alternatively, the plug is quite small and could easily be misplaced during an oil change. If lost, oil will leak from the engine, causing parts to overheat. Fortunately, replacing a lost or damaged oil drain plug is simple and only requires screwing a new plug into place. This replacement plug is a high-quality part that fits Craftsman and Murray products. It comes sourced from its original manufacturer and ships individually, without any additional hardware.

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.

This is a replacement dipstick tube seal that is designed specifically for use with select Briggs & Stratton engines on lawn and garden equipment. This seal is designed to provide a seal in the oil dipstick tube to ensure that oil stays in the crankcase and air stays out. It sits in the bottom of the fill tube and also helps hold the tube securely in place. Over time, the seal can become damaged or broken and result in oil leaks. If this happens, the seal should be replaced immediately to ensure proper engine operation. Oil leaks can lead to poor performance or even cause further damage to the engine if left unrepaired. This replacement tube seal can get equipment back in proper working order in no time. This dipstick tube seal is manufactured to specific standards by Briggs & Stratton. It is designed for use with multiple models of engines that are installed on blowers, generators, tractors, and snow blowers from Briggs & Stratton, Murray, and Toro. There are over 150 compatible units that can use this exact part. This durable seal is made of premium composite rubber materials and is sold individually. Be sure to drain the oil before replacing this part to avoid spills.
