OK. That's pretty much what I figured. I just didn't see how it could be a 2021 model if the engine wasn't produced until October of 2021. I know the kid I got it from told me that they had purchased the mower new at the beginning of this year's mowing season, which probably means it was a 2022...

Nope. No sense in trying to contact MTD. I buy mowers I find around the area and refurb them for resell. I wouldn't attempt to make a warranty claim. Doing the repairs ans refurbishing is what I do. LOL! After finding the DOM on the engine case, I know that the mower is only one year old. It was...

Well, I need the date of manufacture for a couple of reasons. First, there are some parts that are different based on the year of manufacture. That is really evident in the carburetors, for one. I needed to be sure I had the correct model year. So far, I haven't needed to order any parts that...

Zue. That isn't the model number of this mower. I just posted a reply that lists the correct model number. It is 11A-02B752. I tried using Jack's to locate info and parts, but that model isn't in their database yet.

OK. Yes, I put an extra 7 in the model number. I have some nerve damage that affects my right arm/hand. I have twitches that happen occasionally when I'm trying to do certain things. I guess I had a twitch and doubled the number 7 in the model. The correct number is 11A-02B752. I just double...

I'm a newbie on here, but I'll say that if the hose can't be removed with slightly more than gentle twising and pulling, I automatically replace the lines. I do that even if there is enough extra line to cut the line off. I figure if the hose has gotten hard enough to make removal near...

Ouch! I can't imagine what is must be like to try and do anything on today's Internet with only a 1 Mbps pipe. I used to lag behind most places when we still lived out on the farm. Since we moved into town, I have a 600 Mbps pipe and if I wanted to spring for an additional $15 per month, I could...

Yeah, I'd say you could be right about the US of A being home to more all around jerks than other countries. We seem to have an abundance ofthem for sure.

You should try computer and Linux forums if you want to see a whole load of that type thing. I was recently banned from a Linux forum because I asked how to do a particular task and the administration on that forum banned me because they don't think I should be using a program that I have used...

I'll try and reply to each post. StarTech, I got the manual. Thank you kindly. Just what I needed. shadetree#1, I'll take every owners manual and service manual I can get. I've started a little repair and service biz out of the garage. I've been buying some used mowers I find in the area with...

Yeah, I'd like to have a copy of the owners manual for a model 08P502-0167-F1. There will be more I need as I go along, but this is the only one for now. Since I'll be needing them as I buy more to refurb, I'll need different ones. That's why I put a bug in the ears over on the Briggs site. It...

Does anybody have a link to a site or page where we can download owners manuals? At the present time, there is a glitch on the Briggs site on the page to find and download manuals. The link is incorrect and it points right back to the page you start on. Kind of useless right now. I sent a...

Well stated, bertsmoblie1. Growing up, my family first had a John Deere Model 60 lawn tractor and a few years later a Cub Cadet Model 73 with the Kohler K161 engine. I mowed a total of 7 yards to make money as a kid. My grandparents yard included two barn lots so it was about 4 acres. Our own...

That's no joke. I expect anybody could injure himself trying to balance a mower or tiller on it's side, but for old farts like me, it's an even greater possibility. If I move my back the wrong way, turn my knee just right, or overreach a tad bit, I could end up in the E.R. LOL!

HAH! Yeah, the ordinance states that a person may be fined $750 for "accidentally" running over a squirrel. Seems a tad bit high for a true accident.

This is an older thread, but it is also exactly what I was going to ask about. I haven't tinkered with many small engines in the past few years and I guess I've missed some major changes. I just picked up a Remington mower with a Briggs engine. I spent a couple of hours today disassembling part...

I guess I'm pretty close to east central Illinois, but officially I'm still in southeastern Illinois. I'm in Olney. Originally from Palestine, then a few other places during military tours and then a few places before we bought this house in Olney 6 years ago. This is where I'll die. I'm done...

I'll have to keep researching those codes from MTD. It's funny that not one person has put the way to decipher the new numbers on a website somewhere on the "Net. Maybe somebody will get that info posted in the near future.

Ahhh. I get it now. The first 6 digits of the serial number on these new motors is the manufacturing date. Quite obviously none of the websites I visited have the latest, up to date info on Briggs model numbers, serial numbers, and DOM. Maybe that's why none of them made sense when I was trying...

Nope, I have triple checked everyplace on that engine there is to look. There are no numbers after the F1. I did, however, find the number stamped on the side of the engine with a second number stamped in also. It states, "DOM 10 23 2021". So, it was definitely manufactured in October of 2021. I...

OK. I just double checked to be sure. The model number I provided is correct. The screenshot below is from the Parts Warehouse website. I'm sure I have the correct model number. As for the serial number, I'm not sure what you mean by "Briggs does not use serial numbers". Every Briggs motor I...

OK, I just now registered because I think I'm losing my mind. I'm trying to determine the year of manufacture for a lawn mower I just picked up. It is a Remington, 20", side discharge mower with a Briggs engine model number 08P502-0167-F1 and a serial number of 2110238970214. I have searched the...
