Briggs put out a manual called "Engine Alternator Replacement Guide".
It is available from all over the web.
Briggs alternators are colour coded by the wire & Plug shape & colour.
Best is to get a 25A regulator & fit the 2 wire yellow stator.
Easiest thing is to fit the old single wire ( with diode in it ) 3 amps.

Well if you just want to get by until you get the original rebuilt you could go old school and stick a starter generator on it. My Brother gave me a rebuilt 11 hp Briggs for my Bolens garden tractor that had just blown up its original Wisconsin, I installed it and used the Delco-Remy starter generator that come with the Bolens. Worked great and still works great 10 years later. You can E-Bay them fairly reasonable and it looks like your large frame MF would accommodate it well.

Just another option until you get your rebuild completed.

Wonder if the starter generator that runs my k241 would work with the briggs then.

Worst case you may have to modify the mounting bracket, I went from a SD 14 Wisconsin to a Briggs. It was a double pulley on the Wisconsin but the briggs had a single pulley/starter rope pulley it has worked for well over 10 years now without wearing out the belt let alone the starter/generator.
