18-24HP Briggs INTEK Vtwin engine shaft seal tool

I made this simple tool to prevent damage to the oil seal gasket on the sump housing for the Briggs and Stratton INTEK V-Twin engine that is very common in riding mowers. It's probably a similar PTO shaft arrangement on other engines so it might be useful elsewhere, if anything the outside diameter is the important part to help the seal get over the diameter change in the drive shaft.

Slide this over the shaft before installing the sump cover. Take off when done. Simple.
