shipping 16 hp flywheel

[Noly 2]

Need to ship my flywheel to Briggs to have the magnets repolarized. What is the best way to pack it so it doesn't get damaged? thanks

Wrap it in cardboard, then bubble wrap, then cardboard and put it in a box, tight so it can't move around.

No "peanuts" or air bags, it will squash or pop them.

or just buy an atom ign module from Tulsa eng warehouse for 9.95 u cant ship the wheel for that they work just fine!

What rokon2813 said and it will fit in a large flat rate box.

The way they ship them from the factory is wrap in plastic and shoot the box full of great stuff foam. I usually save the box shell afterward for the next one...

sent a B-1 magnamatic magnet to B&S Friday last. that fit in a small "if it fits.." box. just cut cardboard into strips and filled all the space so it couldn't move.

I had called briggs and the rep gave me the address to ship it to. the P O said the zip was good but the street address was not. I took a chance and shipped anyway on the assumption that the P O in Menomonee Falls knows who and where Briggs and Stratton is. (it was delivered to b&s today)

Noly where are you located? I called around to some Briggs/Simplicity dealers in my area here (SE WI) and found someone to do it local. Came out to about the same price as shipping it to Briggs, $25. But they were able to do it same day

I'm local as well. I shipped mine on a Monday, and it showed up on my doorstep on Thursday.

They turn these around pretty quickly.

Pack it nice and tight to reduce the possibility of a fin breaking off. I've heard horror stories.
