    B&S oil filter issue

    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...

    Who makes aftermarket pistons for B&S?

    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...

    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...

    18HP Twin Vanguard, Horizontal shaft motor. Uneven surging issue

    I have a Cub Cadet 2166 I got from an auction for a steal. I am getting it in running order, and at this point it is running, cutting, and moving well. I do however have an odd motor issue. The motor seems to have a 'miss' at any RPM. This miss is accompanied with a momentary loss of power...

    Confused on what I should look for

    My John Deere rider has gone bad, and I am in search of a new rider. I have about a 800 dollar budget. I've been browsing for 3 weeks and I'm more confused as to what to get then when I started. I'm looking for advice and experience on good mowers I may get in that range. I Mow about 1/2 an...

    Can't find my model anywhere?

    Just bought a Honda push mower for cheap. Motor runs like a champ, no smoke, easy start. However the transmission for the self propel is worn out and the self propel controls are missing. I'd like to fix both. My model is HRR2163vxa MZCG-7403550. I can't seem to find any sites that find this...
