Manufacture date won't be a lot of help, just shows when the engine was built. The warranty starts the date of purchase, not build date. If you sent in the warranty then you will not need the receipt. If you purchased it at a dealer, they should have a copy. If you purchased it at a big box store you can go back there to get a copy.

If the code date shows that the engine is less than 2 years old from date of production it goes without saying that it must be less than 2 years since sale date. In this case we have never be required to produce proof of purchase for Briggs Warranty.

I agree, but it is always best to have the purchase date. According to his date code, he is at least six months out of warranty. He said he purchased it last year, so is going to need a purchase date.

Yes, but that is not our point.

If the date of the engine build was under the 2 years, then he won't have to scramble for his proof of purchase, which he probably doesn't have...
