Ring-retaining 32151-61

This snap ring fits into a groove to hold a pinion gear or other drive part in place. A loose drive part may mean the ring is bent, weak, or missing. Check the groove, washers, bearings, and shaft for damage before replacing it. Confirm fit with the full machine model, serial range, and parts diagram. Turn off the equipment and disconnect the battery or spark plug lead when needed. Wear eye protection and use retaining-ring pliers. Make sure the new ring sits fully and evenly in the groove before use.
