Either broke the engagement cable or the deck belt.
Thanks for your reply-I will check those items
I see you are a B&S Tech- I have a Bachtold Champion brush mower Mod#8200 (older unit)
Original engine= Briggs & Stratton Model#196422; Type1163E1 (Note: My web search for this Mod number gave replies that engine could NOT be identified)
engine threw a rod- looking for replacement engine - Briggs & Stratton 8hp, pull start,
horizontal 1" shaf
t-can you suggest a replacement engine by model number?
Any help appreciated-Thanks-Tom
