Thanks for the info, I will order one. I appreciate the help :) Edit - to double check, I did not find a 842941, but I did find a 842921? Briggs & Stratton 842921 Oil Filter for BIG BLOCK Engines https://a.co/d/dcpwgY2

Hey all, I have a B&S Vanguard 18 hp Twin, engine code 350447 1111-E1 0310311. I referenced B&S website and I got a filter code of 491056. Got it in, and the threads fit, but I had to bend the filter 'top' to make it fit. I need maybe 1/2 shorter and it would fit fine. The filter it came with is...

My old man honed a 31hp B&S Vanguard motor and needs to get 20 over pistons. All I've found online is the B&S brand stuff which is $170 a pop without rings or anything else. Does anyone know of brands that would sell cheaper pistons and rings than that? He can find standard size rebuilt kits...

I was leaning that way, but wanted to make sure just in case. Thanks!

I was leveling my deck today and as soon as I got under to move the blades around for measuring, I saw that the timing of my mower blades changed. About a week ago I had the deck off and timed the blades to be 90 degrees off of each other among other maintenance items. They are timed more like...

I had read this before, but confirmed this first hand. Rustoleum's Almond color in their Professional High Performance Enamel line is so close it is nearly identical to factory Cub Cadet Beige. Code is 7570 Almond. I did a quick spray over a rust spot on the inside of my 1998 Cub Cadet 2166...

Got the gaskets in and mowed the yard. Motor was solid, and the power was up. Before, I'd engage the PTO and the motor would almost stall. Now it is nice and strong, did not sound like it would get near stalling. I will say, I parked it and shut it off mid Mow to move some stuff. About ten...

Good news everybody! She runs! She's a little cranky when cold, have to run half choke for 4 minutes or so, but once she is warmed up, she runs solid now, no misses or surging. And magically, I was able to finish without any extra bolts lying around making me nervous :LOL: One thing I found...

Thanks for the info and advice. In this case, I bought the mower at an auction 2 weeks ago, so I am just getting around to checking this stuff now. Though, to be honest, if the coils hadn't been damaged I would have never pulled the shrouds. As for removing the housing, it would require me...

Awesome, thank you so much :)

Title says it all. I have a 2166 as a current project to make my long term mower. The body is in good shape, but will need a coat of paint in the near future. My local Tractor Supply had the yellow for when I repainted the deck, but they didn't have the beige/white in stock, and it seems like...

Solenoid was snipped off. Pulled it out and there was just a nub, so no need to worry about that anymore :)

Found the rest of the field mouse while I was pressure washing and using the compressor. Also got better shots of some of the chewed wires. Going out to look at the solenoid now, and then it is pretty much waiting until the parts get in.

I don't mind. The hoses were starting to disintegrate on the inside. Just from moving them around, the fuel that came out had lots of black sediment. Plus, I don't have to worry about it for a long time now, as the lines I got are formulated specifically to resist ethanol and additive breakdown...

Does the surface on the flywheel/stator contacts need to be rust free? All the plates that look like they are for the stator/generator on this thing have surface rust. Wasn't sure if that mattered. EDIT - Might be the spots for the ignition coils actually; they line up with the body of the...
