How to use GetPartFound

Three ways in, depending on what you're holding: the machine, the old part, or just a photo of it. Five minutes here saves twenty on the wrong part.

1. Browse by machine

Use Browse when you know what the part goes on. Work left to right. Each step narrows the next one to only what fits:

1. Brand. Start typing and pick from the list. The count beside each name is how many parts we hold for it.
2. Category. The kind of equipment: tractor, mower, chainsaw, marine, generator, and so on. Skip it if you're not sure; it's a filter, not a requirement.
3. Model. Type any part of the model designation. X3 finds X300, X350 and X370.
4. Part type. Belt, filter, spindle, carburetor…

For part types that come in sizes (belts, filters, bearings) an extra Size box appears so you can refine by dimension.

2. Search by part number or name

Use the search box on the Browse page when you can read a number off the old part, or when you only know what the thing is called.

• Punctuation doesn't matter. AM-125424, am125424 and AM 125424 all find the same part.
• Partial numbers work. Worn stamping? Type what you can read. M1579 lists every part number containing it.
• Cross-references count. Search the OEM number and we'll surface aftermarket equivalents we hold under a different number, and vice versa.
• Names work too. mower blade or fuel filter searches part names across the catalog.

3. Reading a result card

• The orange number is the part number, the thing to match against your old part or your manual.
• Add to cart means GetPartFound LLC sells you the part at the price shown and ships it from A&I Products' warehouse. Returns and refunds go through us: email support@getpartfound.com, and see Shipping & Returns.
• See current price at a retailer (on parts listed by other retailers, named on the button) opens the part on that retailer's own site, where you check out under its terms, shipping and returns. The price on the card is the retailer's, from its product feed with the date shown, not live. These are affiliate links: we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.
• View at A&I Products appears on the few A&I parts we can't ship (oils, cleaners, aerosols and the like): it opens the part on A&I's own store.

Sort with the dropdown above the grid: Photos first (default), or Name A–Z.

4. When we widen your search

Our machine-compatibility data is growing daily but not complete. If you search a number inside a selection and nothing matches, we don't show you an empty page. We automatically widen the search one step at a time (model, then category, then brand) and tell you we did:

5. Finding a part from a photo

On Find a Part, add up to five photos and hit Read photo. We read stamped or printed numbers off the part and pre-fill the form. You correct anything we misread, then search.

What makes a photo readable:

• Get the stamped or printed number in frame and in focus. That beats ten glamour shots of the housing.
• Different angles help: one of the markings, one of the whole part, one of the mounting face.
• Wipe the grime off the numbers first. Thirty seconds with a rag doubles the read rate.

6. Tips that save time

• Start with the number if you have one. A part number is unambiguous; a description never is.
• Model designations hide on stickers: under the seat on mowers, on the frame rail of trailers, on the fan housing of generators, inside the air-filter cover on small engines.
• Brands marked “listed” in the brand picker are ones we track but don't yet stock parts for. Picking one shows you that honestly instead of an empty grid with no explanation.
• Cross-check with the size filter. Two belts can share a name and differ an inch. If the part type has a size box, use it.
• No luck? Every miss is recorded (just the search, nothing personal) and genuinely drives what we add next. Or just tell us directly. Early days, and we read everything.
