Gear ring
The gear ring & o ring were exactly as described & fit perfectly! The instruction sheet made it easy to install. The delivery was in a reasonable time frame & came packaged so no broken pieces. I'd ask a question prior to ordering as to whether this part would fit my tractor. I was given an answer the next day & as I was told,it fit & works great.

Parts Used
I removed the recoil starter assembly and then the ring gear assembly. I drilled out the rivets that held the worn ring gear and installed the new ring gear with the machine screws and nuts provided with the new ring gear. I then reinstalled the ring gear mounting assembly and the recoil starter assembly. Immediately after installation, I tapped the starter key and the engine started. I put away my tools, jumped on the seat and proceeded to mow the lawn. Thanks to the timely arrival of the ring gear assembly, I rode on the seat instead of walking behind the hand mower.

Parts Used
I keep an old MTD lawn tractor at our camping place so I don't need to take mower when we go camping. The wheel ring was originally plasctic and was broken. The old briggs engine was still good, I never dreamed I would be able to get the part I needed, let alone, one made better than the original one. It took me most of the day but the 40 year old MTD is back to working. Thanks

5. I then replaced the flywheel and tightened to specks.
6. I then removed the starter and replaced the pinion gear as per instructions.
