How To Locate Your Push Mower Engine Model Number

Step 1: Confirm Correct Model Number

Does your model number look like the image below? The first 10-characters (i.e., model and type) stamped on your engine will look like this: 

engine_model_number
 

Please Note: If the model & type numbers on your Briggs & Stratton engine are only 9 characters, please enter a 0 (zero) at the beginning of the model number.

Does the number you have look like this? If not, locate the correct number by following instructions in Step 2.

 

Step 2: Locate the Model Number

The engine model number is generally a number stamped into metal directly on your engine.

Some push mower engines come with a cover or "shroud". It should be noted that these covers come in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes. Regardless of your cover, the engine model number will be in one of 3 locations:

push_mower_model_number_2

Above the spark plug

Tools you may need:
Flashlight
1/4" or 5/16" socket or screwdriver

push_mower_model_number_3

On the front of engine

Stamped on metal plate in between the overhead valve cover (OHV) and the air filter.

push_mower_model_number_4

Above the muffler

Stamped on the sheet metal above the muffler, which can be on the right or left side of the engine.

Step 3: Search Again
