That's really not a Briggs clone. Looks like a Powermore engine, Made in China for MTD. which that craftsman is made by MTD.

When I said Briggs clone, I meant Briggs like! It is similar to the OHV Briggs single cylinder

I "resotored" a Toro AWD one, it has a smaller engine I believe, but it works much better than an only RWD or FWD mower on steep hills. I got it from someone who had stripped a lot of parts and essentially made it a push mower for whatever very odd reason. I put way too much into it, but in the end it ran and drove as intended again for a family member.

Why fitting Toro brand front drive wheels on a Craftsman?

Very informative video. Lots of repair videos on your channel. All these videos about how to dignose and repair the outdoor power equipment are very helpful. Are you up for a collaboration? Hipa supplies parts for small engines and you get the knowledge on small engine repair. Maybe we would work together to help more people in the community.

Hopefully you put a Briggs and Stratton carburetor on this poulan pro mower i was given a craftsman ys mower that was in some what great shape but the Nikki carburetor had to go even my poulan XT mower has a Briggs and Stratton carburetor on it although i had gas in the crank case now every time I use either of them i shut the fuel shut off valve and let the engine run out of gas so it won't be flooding the oil with gas
@OctaneRestorationsSmallEngine5 ай бұрын
I did replace the nikki carb, it was flooding the engine and the solenoid on the bottom was stuck! After draining the oil contaminated with gas and replacing it with fresh it was good as new!

You got extremely lucky on this one. I repaired one just like this for a customer. They needed the pulley assembly for the belt to go front and rear. Had to remove front gear box to get belt off. What a pain that was. The pulley assembly was close to $100. Very difficult repair. Narration better because of explanations.
