This connecting rod is a genuine Midwest Engine replacement part for appliances operated by small engines, including lawn tractors, lawn mowers, snowblowers, leaf blowers, vacuums, tillers, and generators. The function of a connecting rod in an engine is to link and hold together the piston and the crankshaft.A connecting rod might have to be replaced if it suffers damage over time; damage to a connecting rod can have disastrous implications for an engine if repeatedly used in a state of disrepair. Symptoms of a compromised connecting rod could include a knocking sound from the engine when it is running, unusually low oil pressure, reduced fuel economy, and consistently low oil levels. The most productive method to determine the efficacy of a connecting rod is a simple visual assessment; however, this will require a full breakdown of the engine and a careful examination of the piston, the crankshaft, the bearings, and the connecting rod itself. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This connecting rod is compatible with the following brands: Briggs & Stratton, Toro, Cub Cadet, and Simplicity.
This screw is a genuine Midwest Engine replacement part for small engine appliances, including lawn tractors, lawn mowers, snowblowers, leaf blowers, vacuums, and tillers. The purpose of a screw is to tightly link materials together through rotation that pierces into the material. A screw might have to be replaced in the event that it is lost or misplaced, a common occurrence due to its size. A screw might also be replaced if it deteriorates over time, through erosion, cracking, or piercing, thereby reducing its efficacy in holding materials together. This kind of damage can be attributed to general overuse, to age, or simply to long-term exposure. If a screw is subject to any of this kind of damage, it is best to replace it immediately, as the materials held together by the screw must continue to be held together. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This screw is compatible with the following brands: Briggs & Stratton, Toro, Cub Cadet, and Lawn Boy.
