On lawn and garden equipment, the cylinder head gasket sits between the engine block and the cylinder head. It works by sealing in the internal combustion process and prevents coolant and oil from mixing while moving from the engine block to the cylinder head. If the cylinder head gasket is malfunctioning, it can result in white smoke, fouled spark plugs, leaking coolant, milky white oil, and engine overheating.Over time, gaskets can start to wear out and may crack, resulting in the need for a replacement. Tools required to replace the cylinder head gasket include a socket driver, nut driver, hex bit, spark plug wrench, screwdriver, torque wrench, Torx screwdriver, and a gauge. First, gain access to the cylinder head gasket and check whether it is flat. Prepare a flat surface before removing the old head gasket and putting in the new one.This cylinder head gasket is a genuine OEM replacement part directly sourced from the manufacturer. It is made to fit lawnmowers, wood chippers, snowblowers, tillers, and generators from Briggs & Stratton, Simplicity, Toro, and Lawn-Boy.

This replacement part is a gasket. This is a genuine replacement part made by Midwest Engine.

This genuine OEM replacement part is a spark plug terminal for a wide variety of small combustion engines. In a combustion engine, the spark plug generates a small electrical charge that creates enough power to start up the ignition and engage combustion. The plug connects to the ignition through the terminal. Spark plugs generate and then pass a small electrical current through to the ignition. Usually, the main issue with spark plugs is that this current hyper-extends and ends up frying the spark plug. However, if the terminal is damaged, the charge will not pass into the ignitor, and the engine will not turn. If the spark plug can carry a charge but the engine still won't turn, it's likely the terminal that needs replacing. This is an easy repair because the terminal should just snap on and off. If stuck, a pair of needle-nose pliers should make it easier. This high-quality replacement part is compatible with engines from Murray, Toro, Lawn Boy, and Briggs & Stratton. It is sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.

This is a replacement screw that can be used on various types of lawn and garden equipment. The type of equipment will affect where the screw is used on the tool. A screw is used to attach various components together so nothing comes loose while the tool is in use. It can also be used with a nut. It's best to choose a nut that has the same finish and threading as the screw.A screw can be damaged in many ways. If this occurs, it will need to be replaced. Corrosion, wear and tear, extreme stress, and high temperatures can all cause a screw to fail. Inspecting the screw can indicate whether it will need to be replaced. Use a screwdriver to take off the old screw, or use a pair of pliers if the screw has become stripped. Replace it with a new screw.This is an authentic OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer. Each screw is sold individually. The component is designed for use with lawn mowers, snowblowers, tillers, pressure washers, leaf blowers, edgers, chainsaws, generators, and wood chippers manufactured by Briggs & Stratton, Simplicity, Toro, MTD, Cub Cadet, Lawn-Boy, Homelite, and Murray.

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.

Replacing the screw is a simple repair to make. This is an authentic OEM replacement screw that is sold individually. Some buyers might want to have an extra screw on hand. The replacement screw for the pawl friction plate can be used on lawn mowers, snowblowers, tillers, pressure washers, generators, edgers, log splitters, wood chippers, and other small engines. Compatible brands include Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Toro, Cub Cadet, Lawn-Boy, Snapper, MTD, and Simplicity.

This replacement friction spring is a genuine OEM part meant for any number of small appliance engines run using a starter rope. This spring absorbs large amounts of kinetic energy that could damage the starter rope pulley system. It helps keep the pulley from being overstretched, which would create enough pressure to break the entire system. This spring sits at the center of the pulley system and creates resistance as the user yanks the starter rope. Friction springs can become worn out after repeated use, especially if a user tends to yank the starter rope quite forcefully. The most obvious sign of a worn of friction spring is if the pulley system lacks any resistance. As the user pulls the cord, they should feel a little pull back, but if the friction spring is worn, there will be much less resistance. Replacing this part is straightforward and will only require a screwdriver. Simply open the pulley system, carefully remove the old spring, and install the new one. This part is compatible with a wide number of appliances from Toro, Vanguard, Briggs & Stratton, and Lawnboy. It comes sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.
