This is an oil filter that facilitates the removal of harmful contaminants from the engine oil. This part is designed to help maintain the optimum performance of an engine in compliance with the necessary EPA emissions regulations. It is recommended that the oil filter is replaced annually or every 100 hours. Remember to prepare something to catch the oil when replacing the oil filter. The old one will need to be unscrewed to replace it, but be sure to coat the seal of the new filter with oil before installing it. To ensure that the new oil filter is in place, make sure it touches the plate it seals against by giving the filter a firm turn to tighten it down. This replacement part is an individual genuine OEM part. It is compatible with small engines, lawnmowers, generators, snowblowers, and wood chippers from Toro, Lawn-Boy, Simplicity, Snapper, and Briggs & Stratton.

The flywheel key is the component on outdoor equipment that keeps the flywheel connected to the crankshaft. Over time, this key may become damaged or broken, particularly if the engine experiences a forceful stop, like hitting a large stationary object. If the flywheel key breaks, the engine will not start. A slightly damaged flywheel key is noticeable through symptoms like misfiring, backfiring, or having no power. If any of these are occurring, the flywheel key should be replaced to prevent complete engine failure.A flywheel puller tool is required for this repair. Make sure the engine is cool before working on the flywheel. Wear safety gear, including gloves and eye protection. Disconnect the spark plug and remove the blower housing. Remove the flywheel mounting nut and set it aside. Take the recoil starter cup off the mower. Use the flywheel puller to remove the flywheel and access the flywheel key. Remove the broken flywheel and replace it with the new flywheel. Reverse the steps to put the mower back together.This flywheel key is made of an aluminum alloy and is sold as an individual part. It is designed for use in lawnmowers, lawn tractors, and other small engines manufactured by Briggs and Stratton, Toro, Lawn-Boy, Simplicity, MTD, and others.

The largest factor hampering the engine efficiency of lawn mowers is the air in the air/fuel mix. This Briggs & Stratton pre-cleaner filter is a flat device that sits inside the air filter housing and purifies the air of contaminants and particulates before it even reaches the air filter. This improves the lifespan of the air filter and improves the efficiency of the engine. The pre-cleaner, because it is highly effective at removing dust and other contaminants from the air, will eventually become full of particulate. At that point, the user may notice difficulty in getting the mower to perform. To replace the pre-cleaner, remove the outer air filter cover snd locate the old pre-cleaner just inside. Remove the old filter and replace it with the new one. Attach the top cover. This is an OEM certified replacement part that was built to the exacting standard of the original equipment of the tractor. Although it was manufactured intentionally for the Toro lawn tractor, the filter is also compatible with several other brands, including Simplicity and Briggs & Stratton.

This oil seal is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for use on a wide variety of small gas-powered appliance engines. Although small, an oil seal is an important part of the oil cylinder assembly as it prevents oil from leaking into other parts of the engine. If oil begins to leak into the engine, it can corrode other parts or even pose a fire hazard. Therefore, it's important that the oil cylinder is tightly sealed to prevent any damage to the engine. Seals can wear out over time, especially if exposed to heat. Heat will cause the seal to shrink, effectively unsealing the oil cylinder. Before making this repair, be sure to drain the oil cylinder of any oil and be prepared for an involved replacement process. This part is compatible with Toro, Murray, and Briggs & Stratton appliances and is sourced from the original manufacturer. It ship individually of other hardware.

Oil filter for most Intek and Vanguard engines and selected L-head twin cylinder engines. It is recommended to replace the oil filter at least once per season.

This is the rocker cover gasket, which seals the cylinder head on small engines so that the engine doesn’t develop leaks. Periodically, a gasket may deteriorate with heavy use. To maintain good engine performance, the rocker cover gasket needs to be replaced with an OEM certified replacement. This type of gasket is most often found on lawn tractors. Replacing the original gasket with the new one is a simple and straightforward process. There are four bolts holding the valve cover in place. Simply remove them and the old gasket, which will likely have to be scraped to get it completely off the cylinder head. Place the new gasket exactly over the metal frame of the cylinder head—it should fit perfectly. Hold it in place with a small amount of RTV, a silicon sealer that is impermeable to oil and gasoline. Replace and tighten the four valve cover bolts. This part is made by Genuine Midwest Engine. This part is used in Briggs & Stratton engines and also used by Toro and Vanguard. This is an OEM part. It's also sold individually.

This cylinder head gasket is a genuine replacement part for select small engines. The cylinder head gasket is installed between the cylinder head and the engine block. It is responsible for creating a seal for the internal combustion engine to work properly and to help keep the oil and coolant separate as they travel between the cylinder head and the engine block. Gaskets are considered a maintenance part because their exposure to high heat and pressure cause wear, warping, and other damage over time. When a gasket is damaged, the seal is affected. Air could escape or the oil and coolant could mix, which would both produce bad results for the engine. This genuine OEM cylinder head gasket replacement is manufactured to exact standards by Briggs & Stratton. This part is compatible with select engines found in lawn and garden machines manufactured by Briggs & Stratton and Toro. The gasket is sold as an individual part and does not include any hardware or additional components. Be sure to allow the engine to cool and wear gloves when replacing gaskets. It is a good idea to replace gaskets when performing other engine repairs to ensure a proper seal when putting the engine back together.

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.

The oil seal plays an important role in protecting the oil as it flows into the crankshaft and engine block. It creates a strong seal and ensures that the oil can flow effectively into the engine for proper operation. Over time, rubber seals degrade and wear out, so their replacement will be a part of routine maintenance. If there are oil leaks around the crankshaft or engine, this seal may be the culprit. Replacing the oil seal will ensure proper oil pressure and avoid oil leaks that could lead to more serious damage. When installing this replacement part, it is important to use a rubber mallet or large socket to tap the part into place. This is a genuine Briggs & Stratton part that is a replacement for various compatible small engines. It can fit select engines on Toro, Husqvarna, and Briggs & Stratton equipment. This oil seal is sold individually and compatible with a variety of engines. This OEM replacement is made of durable rubber and sold individually.
