This is a rotating screen that protects the lawnmower engine from debris and dirt that could damage the engine. It is an authentic OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on a variety of lawnmowers. If the screen becomes damaged or broken, dirt and debris could damage the engine or other critical parts. Without the screen, small animals and insects, like little birds and bees, could get inside the engine cavity and make nests. This could be detrimental to the engine and to the animal. During the inspection, if the screen is found to be damaged, it should be removed and replaced. A Torx driver is needed to remove the screen. Wear work gloves and make sure the spark plug has been removed from the lawnmower. Remove the Torx screws and set them aside for use on the new rotating screen. After removing the screws, the blower housing has to be removed in order to remove the screen. After the screen is removed, clean the engine cavity with a blower to remove any dirt or debris. Install the new cover, then reinstall the blower housing and spark plug.This rotating screen is made of durable black plastic and is sold as an individual part. It is designed for use on lawnmowers manufactured by Toro, Briggs & Stratton, MTD, and Craftsman.

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.
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.
