Welcome aboard to LMF hope to see you again, i"m not sure about your engine but there are a lot of other member that are very knowledgeable about your question that will be along soon to answer it. Welcome again :laughing:
depending on if it is a horizontal or vertical shaft Briggs and Stratton has 2 different engines that may work. One is the 1450 series(horizontal with a 1 x 3-1/8 shaft), the vertical shaft style you can find anywhere from a 10.5 hp up to a 27 hp with a 1 x 3-5/32" shaft. hope this might help you out.
