Snap a pic of the front and sides of the engine, the numbers should be there.

Crawled all over that thing - nothing. I'll bite the bullet and will go by the mower model number. Thx for all the help!

I see the model numbers in your last pic, above the muffler on that flap. clean it off with a rag.

Look from the top at what I circled in red, looks like they are there.

Thanks guys!

It says 123K02-0258-E1 03072559. Not sure if the 2nd number is important but the first one links to 498170 . Any other websites I should check to be 100% sure?

What's the difference between 498170 and 799868

The second one is the type number, and is critical in determining the correct carb.
