I noticed that starter pinion was steel or brass? Where do I find one of those ? Mines plastic and how that Is even able to Start an engine even once is beyond me ..and how many different set ups do these gt18 mowers come ? Yours is horizontal shaft like mine except my crank shaft faces forward and yours sideways
@RooneysSears016 күн бұрын
Man you aren’t kidding about this plastic age we live in lol I want to say I replaced this starter not too long after this vid was shot, and I got it from EBay, I went through 2 starters on this thing before I sold it. Yours must be a newer version of this one, by 81 Sears turned the engines so the crankshaft was front to back and somewhere by the mid to late 90’s they went to vertical shafts.

Is it a Sears like this one? If it is the belt size should be 5/8x82 or 83 inches depending on what engine it has. And as far as it not moving, could be one of many things I’m afraid.belt, idler pulleys or springs or something in the transmission

I’d say your best bet on finding the year is to base it off the engine numbers presuming it’s the original engine. The numbers should be stamped into the shroud below the sticker. Briggs pretty much always stamped their numbers in until recently. It has really neat patina on it too and the front fenders are so neat!
