Ring gear was badly worn

Ronald from Spring Valley, Illinois

5 of 5 people found this instruction helpful.
Difficulty Level:
A Bit Difficult
Total Repair Time:
30 - 60 mins
Tools:
Nutdriver, Socket set
Parts Used:
696537
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.

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
