Hello, I have a 42" Husqvarna tractor that had a 20HP Intek. single cylinder engine that only had around 200 hours on it. It blew a head gasket 2 years in then a few months ago after driving the mower in to my shed and not having to mow for weeks due to the drought I go to start it and nothing. My neighbor and I tore it down and could not figure out why it wouldn't start so after looking at used and new tractors I decided to just buy a new motor for it since it looks almost brand new any why scrap a nice tractor? I wound up purchasing a replacement 19HP B&S EX1900 that has the exact same displacement as the 20HP Intek and the exact same cover with a different decal.
The motor I took out is in the box the new one came in and I was going to get rid of it but thought someone might have a use for the parts or even the knowledge to fix it and use it. I can say when it blew the head gasket early on the repair shop I used told me it was a known issue and a faulty design B&S was well aware of, could be why I couldn't find any information on that particular motor when it went down back in September. The only thing I had to do was use the original muffler because the new one was too big I would have had to cut into the "hood" of the mower. When it ran it ran well so if anyone has a use for it I am offering it up to any takers. I am in Massachusetts but since it's boxed up I am sure it can be shipped, obviously the taker is prepaying for shipping. Here are some photo's of the tractor and both motors.
I don't know why but it won't let me upload the rest of the pictures but the one here is the motor I will be getting rid of if nobody has a use for it.
