Description

This pushrod serves a vital part of the camshaft in a lawn tractor’s engine. As the camshaft spins, the pushrods open the engine valves to intake air and release the exhaust. Without a functioning push rod, the engine cannot run properly. There are two push rods in an engine made of steel and aluminum, respectively. This item is the longer, 6in steel rod. Be sure to replace the correct part. Pushrods should last for 200,000 miles of wear and tear but can be broken by harsh use. The pushrod needs replacing when the engine starts misfiring or will not run at full power. The most common problem is a bent pushrod. This part is a genuine OEM replacement part straight from the manufacturer. This item is made by Briggs & Stratton, though Toro and Vanguard both make identical parts. Again, this is the steel variety of pushrod, and it is sold individually. Aluminum pushrods are sold separately.
