Question I am replacing a ring gear on my Rally Ring mower, which has a12.5 Briggs& Stratton engine, Model #289707 Type0179-01, Serial #960524ZB.My question is that the replacement ring gear came with 4 bolts and 4 selflocking nuts as well as a 1/8" split pin. The old ring gear was held on with 4 rivets and I replace them with the 4 bolts that came with the new ring gear, but I do not know where the split pin should go? Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Carl
AnswerHello Carl:
>>Some Flywheels are Designed with a Pin and the Rivets and Others have No Pin.
>>A Pin is Also used to Center the Flywheel Magnet on Some Model Engines.
>>I Looked at the Breakdown for this Engine and the Pin is Not Used on the Flywheel Starter Ring for this Engine.
>>The Pin is a Standard Item in Most of the Ring Gear Kits.
>>Simply Replace the Rivets with the Bolts and make Sure they are Tightened Securely.
>>You can View a Breakdown/IPL of this Engine at this Site Addy, http://www.outdoordistributors.com/ and Select "Click Here For The Parts Menu". Then Select B. Then Select "Click Here If You Don't Have Your Part Numbers". Now Select the File #28 (using the first 2 Numbers of your Model Number) for your Model. Now Select the Folder #289700 to View the Breakdown of this Engine.
