Well, its like I told a guy one day that got rather irrate that I could not just order him a carb for a briggs and stratton engine, I showed him on the computer that briggs used a possible ( I Think this is the correct # okay), 969 different carbs. I also told him if he'd like to prepay for each of them, I would gladly order him one of each. Then, and only then did he see that he needed a model # to locate the correct carb.
My point being that they were correct in telling you they needed the model number. No one wants to sell you the incorrect part. So if you need an engine part, carry all the numbers you can find on the engine with you. And if you need a part for the rest of the unit, carry all other numbers you can find on the mower with you. This just helps out everyone involved.
