Overview:
The Rod-Connecting for Briggs & Stratton engines is a genuine replacement part that links the piston to the crankshaft to transfer power smoothly through the engine. Manufactured from high‐strength metal alloy for durability under heat and load, it helps maintain correct engine timing and reduces wear when properly lubricated. This OEM component (OEM No. 494504S) is designed for a precise fit on a wide range of Briggs & Stratton 28‐series vertical shaft engines found on many lawnmowers and garden machinery. It is suitable for engines such as 283702 and 283707, among others, making it an ideal choice for maintenance or rebuilds where reliability and accurate tolerances are essential.
Key Features:
- Genuine Briggs & Stratton part (OEM 494504S) for assured fit and specification
- High-strength metal construction for wear resistance and thermal stability
- Precisely machined big-end and small-end for smooth, efficient operation
- Direct replacement on listed engines; no modifications required when correctly installed
