Engine Flywheels Replacements for Lawn Tractors

Engine flywheels in lawn tractors are heavy, rotating discs attached to the crankshaft. They store rotational energy to keep the engine running smoothly, balance power pulses, and help start the engine by engaging with the starter motor. To service or replace these parts, a flywheel puller is often required to safely remove the flywheel without causing damage.

A failing flywheel may cause the engine to struggle to start or fail to start altogether. You might notice unusual vibrations or rattling noises during operation. Additionally, poor engine performance, such as stalling or inconsistent power delivery, can indicate that flywheel parts are worn or damaged.
