What Does Briggs & Stratton 594195 Seal?
The 594195 crankcase gasket seals the joint between the crankcase and engine sump or crankcase cover on compatible engines.
This sealing surface is part of the lower engine assembly and helps retain engine oil inside the crankcase.

Current replacement information identifies 594195 as the replacement for older crankcase gasket numbers 591911, 697227, 690945 and 273488.
Older illustrated parts lists may therefore show one of those previous numbers instead of 594195.

Why the Briggs & Stratton Code Number Matters
Briggs & Stratton identifies engines using Model, Type and Code. The Code contains production information that can matter when parts change during an engine's production run.
For example, official parts diagrams for select 40N777 and 44N877 specifications show 594195 as:
GASKET, Crankcase – Used Before Code Date 15071600.
Because of production breaks like this, do not order 594195 using only a broad engine-family number.
Is Briggs & Stratton 594195 a Gasket or a Kit?
Briggs & Stratton's current official product name is 594195 Crankcase Gasket. Some authorized parts catalogs describe the same part number as a Crankcase Gasket Kit.
Current product imagery may show mounting hardware with the gasket, but exact package contents should be confirmed from the product received or current Briggs packaging before promising that specific bolts or other hardware are included.
When Should a Crankcase Gasket Be Replaced?
The gasket should be inspected whenever the engine sump or crankcase cover is removed. Replacement may be required if the existing gasket is torn, compressed, damaged or no longer seals the mating surfaces.
Oil visible around the crankcase-to-sump joint can indicate a sealing issue, but the complete engine should be inspected before assuming the crankcase gasket is the only source of an oil leak.
Before Ordering Briggs & Stratton 594195
- Locate the complete engine Model, Type and Code.
- Open the illustrated parts list for that exact engine.
- Check the Engine Sump or Gasket Set section.
- Confirm that reference 12 specifies part number 594195.
- Check for any production Code Date note in the diagram.
- Do not assume all engines in the same model family use the same gasket.
