How to dismantle a briggs & stratton 18.5HP Intek engine
Our Briggs & Stratton (Craftsman) rider mower quit working a few weeks ago. Sears came out and while they do not know what exactly is wrong with it, as it does not crank or turn they want to fit new engine or re-cond. One no less than $1000! My husband is trying to work out what caused it to die. It's only got 110 hours on it and we are amazed it hasn't lasted longer.
Hubby is now stuck - he has taken the top end of the engine off incl. the flywheel and the head - he cannot see anyway to get to the piston and rod which is where we think the problem lies without removing the casing. Does anyone know how to get to the Piston & Rod? Also, apparently Sears has a totally different parts # set up than other repair shops so we are now wondering if we will even be able to get the parts should we be able to fix it. Anyone able to help with either of these? Thanks! |

Clueless. No numbers. Not the sears model # of the tractor, nor the briggs engine numbers. Sears and briggs use the same p/n's. Breakdown diagrams and parts are easy to find. www.searspartsdirect.com and Small Engines, Lawn Mower Engines and Generators by Briggs & Stratton. Repair manuals cost you. Breakdown diagrams free. |

Hi, You do not get at the rod and piston without a teardown, Try this manual on for size: http://www.mymowerparts.com/pdf/Brig...20STRATTON.pdf Peace, Clarke |

My B&S 31F707 17hp engine locked up and can't get it to turn, so looking to replace the engine with a B&S 31C707 17.5 hp since it is less than half the price of an exact replacement. Does anyone know if this will work? Or what I need to look for specifically to see if it will fit?

I have a ~16 year old Murray tractor with 12.5 hp B&S engine. When I tried to start it this season, it started rough, smoked badly and died. Found oil leaking near muffler and on the floor. Pulled the spark plug and it also had oil on it. Battery still cranking starter, but engine won't start. ...
I went to start my riding mower for the first time this year and when it started is smoked real bad. I turned it off and checked the oil, it was over filled. I went to drain the oil and discovered it had gas in the oil. It ran fine last year, but I didn't drain the gas out at the end of the season....
