Re: Re: Model Year for Sears 12

Thank you spence. Follow up question. How do you identify whether engine is a B&S or Tecumseh? Manual and decal on engine show only Craftsman Engine. Shows "Solid State Ignition" and "Timken Bearings".
Engine Model No, 143.602022 but I believe that is just Craftsman's number.

Re: Re: Re: Model Year for Sears 12

That is a Tecumseh engine. The manufacturer source code of 143 gives it away. If it were a Briggs, it would be 500.

Here is just one internet listing of the source codes:
