Description

This OEM replacement part is a crankcase gasket for lawnmowers. The crankcase gasket is used to seal the two halves of the crankcase. If the crankcase gasket is no longer sealing properly, it might need to be replaced. Luckily, this is a relatively simple repair. Before beginning, make sure the engine has cooled. Once cooled, locate the old crankcase gasket. Tilt the mower on its side. Once tilted, remove the blade of the mower. After removed, clean any dirt that might be on the crankshaft. Drill a small hole into the old seal and be careful not to damage the crankshaft. Insert a screw into the drilled hole and use it to pry off the old crank gasket seal. Once removed, install the new crankcase gasket. Reinstall the blade, and tilt the mower back to its upright position.This genuine replacement part is sold individually and is compatible with MTD brand lawnmowers.
