I have an 18 year old 2164 cub cadet with a 42 inch mower deck. Runs great. While mowing, a stone or something got under the hood and dropped down into the flywheel. One of the magnets on the wheel broke off. I have looked for the part# BS 807805 and all websites say that it is discontinued. I guess because it is 18 years old. I was hoping someone might know where would be a good place to start looking for this part. I would think there would be a substitute of some sort. Thanks folks

Is the magnet intact or did it smash up ?
If it is in one or two pieces it can be reglued onto the flywheel.

AFAIK all of the Command flywheels are interchangable the only difference is the size & number of the magnets.

I'm afraid it is smashed to pieces. Can one get a magnet and shape and glue it into place?

Firstly ignore my previous post as I did not read yours properly I see you have a B &S engine not a Kohler.

'Secondly post the engine numbers as requested by mark.
He has access to the dealer net and will follow up to see what it has been superceeded/replaced with

Third, if this engine has an external magneto coil & magnet thus the inside magnets are purely for supplying power you can remove the magnet dead opposite the damaged one to balance the flywheel and put it back on.
The only problem willbe a reduction of power so you might need to top up the battery now & then.

The only numbers I could find are as follows : MN. 2164...13A-264G100 Factory N. 303447 code. 98080411 type. 1147-E1 4952. I've cleaned out the spot where the broken magnet was. It just seems you could form another magnet to fit. or is that just wishful thinking? Thanks for all the help

Wishful thinking.
Magnets are either cast in shape or a powder pressing and partially fused so they don 't bend they break if cast and shatter if pressed.

I think I lost you at "wishful thinking". So to epoxy an exact copy, maybe a little thinner to avoid hitting anything, is out of the question?
