Parts for old mower engine

[lavatan]

The problem is that Briggs filed bankruptcy and was brought by a financial investment that is killing off all the slow moving items. And jack the prices on every thing Briggs sells.

That's also a problem. I didn't know that. I would just put a new engine in it but the problem I have is this mower is kind of a unicorn in that it uses pulleys on both sides of the crank. As the engine sits the top pulley drives the front wheel that spins 360* and the bottom drives the blades. I'm not sure if I can find an engine that would accommodate both.

Appears you need to consider a replacement engine.

Several riding mowers used that type engine. (and salvage prices and or running [price would be less than cost of the parts you need.
You need to consider looking for a vertical shaft engine replacement.
I've got couple snapper's, a old Gravely and MTD mowers that use that type engine.

Hello,

The B&S engine on my Swisher Big Mow seized last year. I would like to get the engine rebuilt as the mower has sentimental value to me. I can find most parts except for the most important ones. I can't find the crankshaft, counterweight or cylinder assembly. I will list the model and part numbers below. If someone has any idea how to get these parts NOS or otherwise I would be extremely grateful. I have tried two different online sources and both times I've received notices that these parts were not available from their warehouse or their supply chain.

Engine Model:
195707-0431-E1
Parts:
Crankshaft 495629
Counterweight 690619
Cylinder Assy 495726

Thanks in advance.

Edit: The date code on the engine says its from 1996: 961015YD

Replacement engine information ( read to the bottom):
no exact engine replacement, so per the noted:
