Locating a part number for a new housing..............it does not come up in the B&S website. I contacted a regional "Diamond" dealer, provided him the model number and DOM number.........and was sent yet another starter that does not fit. Where/how can I find the housing and starter...

Phone number is missing a digit...........1-800-356-632

Yep, I am a beaten man!:) Re: Date code..........I noticed in the B&S website date codes with a lot more digits than xx-xx-xx......I suppose a distributer will be able to figure that out. I did not see in their website a method to contact them directly via email nor by phone. I'll call one of...

Well guys I got all giddy with the "discovery" of the model number (9P602-0023-F1) info on the block...until I looked at part number 84010941 in the B&S website and saw a four hole bolt pattern on the starter..........the existing arrangement is a three (shoulder) bolt pattern. I am stuck...

Bingo!! Wifey arrived with better eyes!! 9P602 O023 F1 DOM 06-21-13 I really appreciate y'all's experience with this one....I've never seen etching this faint....B&S didn't expect anyone needing to order parts I guess😁

I have located numbers that are cast into the engine block, on a flat horizontal surface..."21-140"

The blower housing has decal information: "B&S 500E Series"/140cc I could never find a specific model information for just the engine on the engine proper. FYI, I could not find in the MTD website specific mower model differentiation by a specific B & S engine model. The old starter, in...

Working on a Bolens/MTD Model 11A-B06R765(has a number 421852 under the model # ) s/n 1G253K10481 Mower's recoil came to me in pieces off the mower....I ordered a new starter that came with a "insert" looking piece with a 4 bolt pattern loose. The replacement starter appears to snap into the...

I appreciate the help..........this old dog has seen a bunch of grass since then for sure. I am giving it a second life do over for a retired law enforcement friend. bartles

Sorry guys I had my head up where the Sun doesn't shine......I never thought to look inside the hood.

By golly I think you nailed it!! Thanks a bunch. bartles

So I'm now thinking this Frankenstein has a different deck underneath it. Is there a method to identify a deck from another mower? This deck has a cable tightening belt method with a single 4-5" od pulley. thanks again guys, bartles

No joy with this model number, but I appreciate your help. bartles

I looked again... The mower body says 38"/12.5 HP B&S.....the engine is 15.5 HP OHV B&S....I got me a real "Frankenstein"

I appreciate your help guys!

Model 28N707-(Code) 0160-01 s/n 9407184B

The engine info is: Model 28N707-(Code) 0160-01 s/n 9407184B

Will do asap

Working on a "very experienced" Yard Man 38"/12.5 HP B&S The model on the tag under the seat is: 13AT674G401(the seat must be from another model MTD) The tractor has a totally different deck belt/pulley arrangement than what is illustrated in the MTD website. This tractor has the cable...

Well folks like this guy keeps the parts businesses healthy.😄

Thanks! The owner has thrown new parts ($$) at everything that has a plug...then calls and asks what could it be....heard that before?:LOL: Appreciate the help, bartles

Asking for confirmation the resistance reading for a good blade clutch should be 2-4 ohms, right? Thanks in advance, bartles

I have a totally rebuilt Dixon mower for sale, whole or parted out. I got curious about these mowers, their propulsion system, and history and ended up restoring this 30". Shipping the complete mower is probably a reach but i would entertain parting it out for shipment that way.

Working on a JD LX 277/ MOL277C061290 with Kawasaki Code FH500V-BS11: Owner was mowing when the fuel line from the fuel pump (or from the carb "overflow" line) to the carburetor evidently leaked fuel down to exhaust system starting a fire that melted the carb ground wire, overflow line, and...

Admittedly he doesn't get too close to a tool box.

This is one of those "urge to kill" deals....as it turns out the guy told me he thought it had another spring(besides the governor spring". I looked at it, set the idle speed with the throttle cable housing clamp...and sent him on to build fence. Thanks guys for pitching in to help, bartles

I realize this is not an application discussed in a lawnmower forum, but I need some parts locator assistance: The B&S engine powers an auger, its model number is 126M02-0122-F1. There should be a spring between the throttle control link/lever and the butterfly shaft that balances with the...

Well, sorry about that..it is a Cub Cadet...

I'm working on Hustler with a blurred ID tag...I think, s/n 1B01OH20162 What's the model number? Year built? Kawasaki engine code: FR651V-AS05-12 Thxs in advance, bartles

From experience you need to provide the forum with make, model, and serial number information.

Thanks, I was thinking about a "tool board" for the ones used "almost every time"

Well congratulations on your post....now you know what it feels like!:p On that 1 1/4" wrench....go to the back door and pitch that thing as hard as possible....from my childhood experiences working on draglines and bulldozers, using that thing is a lot like work!! Thanks for all your help...

😂

I seem to end up with a bench full of tools at the end of a mower repair. I generally have to use a combination of 1/4" and 3/8" SAE and metric sockets and combination wrenches too. Is it a good idea to just have a mower repair tool box so I can narrow down the number of tools with just the...

My 50 cents worth...........be sure to check the belt for cuts....that's a tight space to squeeze through.

StarTech convinced me the better tool to confirm cylinder pressure is a "leak down test". Harbor Freight has such a tool. Compression pressure along can be deceiving. ..."been there done that"

You might want to see if you can use the jet from the OEM carb in the new carb you recently installed. I've had to do that in carbs I replaced due to excessive corrosion because of bad gas/without fuel conditioner.

Follow up....replaced the head gasket(1) and all was well until the new fuel pump failed to pump...and yes, it is a Amazon knock off. I took the diaphragm out of the new pump and replaced the failed diaphragm in the old pump...probably from excessive crankcase pressure. Question: Are the OEM...

Well I did a leak down test... suspect cylinder, at 80psi inlet, is 20psi....there's you sign. Opposite cylinder is 75p Leakage is coming from push rod area and oil fill. Yep, slower means more methodical!! I need to get knowed up on "modified" testing.

Did a leak down test....80psi in......dropped to 15psi. (I put too much faith in a compression test!,,) I hear a leak coming from the push rod space.... a little at the carb, but none from the dip stick.

Good idea!!:p It's not...all the time. I checked valve clearance on both cylinders....tight, zero clearance(set at .004"). The suspect cylinder does eventually fire (checked with a heat gun on the exhaust pipes) then dies in less than 30 seconds. The spark is very weak.

Working on a Toro Model: 75754, Engine Model 139-0602 The complaints and observations are: when deck is engaged the engine "bogs" down almost to a stop but will regain rpm. Low power. Exhaust smoke. Oil in muffler outlet. I did a compression test on both cylinders: both tested out 150-160...

Thanks...this particular model has a mechanical belt tightening system...no electric clutch. 20Amp is a good recommendation!! Thanks, bartles

Thxs.....I checked line amps running and cranking and settled on a 20. Thanks for the confirmation! bartles

Man I appreciate the help, thanks again, bartles

The pic up load didn't up load😖 The first two numbers are 28 the next "number" looks like a 2....the balance of the digits are H07-0196-E1. Could the digit after 28 be a Z?

Got the cover off and carefully uncovered another model number....the serial number I provided initially was from the fan cowling. Probably not the original cover. Hopefully I can attach a picture...the letter after the two numbers "looks" like another number.

Thanks, it does seem excessive! bartles

Thank you, good suggestion! bartles

Thanks!!
