Briggs Stratton 691726 Connecting Rod Dipper

Product Description

The BRIGGS STRATTON 691726 is a connecting rod dipper, an internal engine component used in small air-cooled gasoline engines. The connecting rod links the piston to the crankshaft, converting the linear motion of the piston into rotational output. The dipper is the oil-slinging tab on the rod that lubricates the crankshaft journal and cylinder walls by dipping into the oil reservoir during engine operation. This is an OEM-specification replacement part suited for installation by small engine mechanics and qualified service technicians.

This connecting rod dipper is designed for use in small air-cooled engines commonly found in lawn and garden power equipment, including walk-behind mowers, riding mowers, and similar outdoor power units powered by Briggs and Stratton engines. It is a direct service replacement for worn, scored, or damaged connecting rods identified during teardown and inspection. Refer to the engine model, type, and code stamped on the engine block to confirm correct fitment before installation.
