It looks like the part # is now 5949MA. It shows as a 5 1/2"rubber track, though I would verify w/ the vendor first. (The B&S 302070 comes up w/o the MA suffix.) Magneto Power does not have them in their system, but maybe Google will be your friend. My suggestion if you find an internet outlet that has it- to call and verify as many of them would just drop ship from the Mag or elsewhere.

Thanks Tom, I've been searching Google all morning and can't seem to find the 5949MA part, it appears to be as elusive as the original. I search B&S also and the 5949 part doesn't appear. Should it?

Anyone have any parts companies that might have it? I'm at a loss.

I appreciate the help everyone, I really don't want to buy a whole new machine!!!

Tom,

Thanks! Ya, those on ebay sold :( But I'll check with Mowpart and see where I get with that. Thanks!!

5949MA is no longer available from Briggs and Stratton. I checked with Oregon but they don't offer a replacement, looks like Mowpart may be your best shot.

hey there I also need tracks for my machine so if you find anywhere plese e-mail me thanks

I think by law "they" are only required to have parts for three years? What's the problem, if you get something to last for three years, then you just buy another one?

My personal favorite was a mini tiller which I bought at Sears on a clearance. Purchased in the fall, and needed starter dogs the following fall. Contacted Sears, "so sorry, no longer available." I explained that I'd only had it a year, and was told that the "clock" for parts starts when they decide to discontinue the item. So, new things you see on the showroom floor may have already been discontinued, but they're "selling through" existing inventory.

Evidently folks like those who read this forum, who care for and repair things are a blight on the economic landscape.

"blighted" in Ohio,
