I have a Brute lawnmower BTPV22675E. Wouldn't start, so I thought tune up time. New plug, air filter and fuel filter, nope. Then replaced coil, nothing, replaced carb, started and smoked then died, never starting again. I'm disabled and single parent so can't afford to replace part after part. Looking for an "upgrade" engine. I have to mow some thick stuff, I push mow without self propelled. It takes a lot of oxygen bottles but has to be done. My other lawnmower is our Frankenstein, it has a rototiller engine on it. Well the city employee forgot to close the metal lid on water meter, yes, I hit it. Destroyed blade and blade adapter, shook real bad, slow pull on starting rope sounds like very bad disc brakes.

That's too much and too tall of grass for a rider.....much less a push mower!

You can probably buy a new push mower cheaper than a new engine. Wish I you lived here I would help you out.

Can't afford a tractor. I have a John Deere F710, bought it at auction, so needs work I can't afford either. So, it leaves me pushing a mower. The city said over 10" you get fined. We've had a lot of chickens for the eggs, we ate eggs and sold extra for animal feed and utilities. Most my animals have been poisoned, shot and stolen. So my son started a gofundme for security cameras, fencing and labor.

Found a Kohler 850 series for $235 shipped, messaged company to ask if it'll fit, no reply.

I also sent message to Billy Goat and Swisher for help, no response yet. I have about 3 acres to mow plus my front and back yard.

I don't know what fits the Brute deck. Thinking Kohler would be a better engine for it? I have commercial Max Power blades for my mowers.
Thanks, been there. I'll try to find what the mount and shaft is on the Brute. Then look for a match that's an upgrade, still can't seem to find the specs.
