~ Unidentifiable Mower ~ : Zero markings & Labels Removed -- Not even sure of Make?

So, I inherited an old mower; it worked for about 45 minutes and I mowed my front yard with it. But it then had a belt break. I dropped & detached the deck, and can now get to the drive belt.

Problem is though, this old riding mower has zero identification. I have looked everywhere -- and I cannot even tell if this is a Craftsman or a Murray. Lol.

Previous owner stripped it, and painted flames on the front hood. Plus it is probably a 70s model, I think. I lean toward Craftsman too, by the way.

Sooo, I saw a previous thread wherein you helped someone identify a riding mower. I can tell you it has a 400 cc Briggs & Stratton Engine.

But please tell me exactly what I should provide to you -- and I will work to acquire that info.

I really appreciate your help; I searched on Google images search for hours -- nothing looks right! Closest I could see is a Craftsman 1978 Roper Riding Lawn Mower -- but it is not 100%. But it does look similar in the grill, and lights configuration in the front.

In sum, I need to obtain the exact year, make, & model # so that I can buy the right belts.

Thank you,
Brandon

p.s. I needed to recreate my post -- as my account would not allow me to reset the password! Tried many times. Something is up with the password reset feature of this forum. Just an FYI.


*** I CANNOT FIND ANY MARKINGS OR NUMBERS ON THE MOTOR OTHER THAN THE SNAPSHOT INCLUDED. LIKEWISE, I DIDN'T SEE ANY LABELS ON THE TRANSMISSION -- ARE THEY HIDDEN SOMEWHERE IN PARTICULAR. ***

LET ME KNOW WHAT ELSE TO PROVIDE! THANKS AGAIN PEOPLE - SOOO MUCH!

In the first picture with the Briggs sticker, there should be a model number stamped on front of that metal housing, or on the side of it. Allthough it looked pretty rusty. Try and scrub some rust off with sandpaper or a abrasive pad. If you get the model #, contact Briggs and give them that number. They should give you a list a of what equipment that engine was used on.

How can two people have the same mower, with the same problem, can’t indentify this mower. Even the pictures provided are the same. Even the answers received are the same. Please do not post multiple threads about the same problem. It only causes problems.

Hi Rivets. I explained that in the body of the new post. IT IS STILL ME. The previous account was not resettable -- and I tried many many times. I could not reply -- so had to create a new account, and a brand new (repeated) post. Look closer in the body -- I explained. Thank you
