I bought 3 garden tractors: a Sears Suburban, a Simplicity, and a David Bradley. All 3 have single cylinder cast iron B&S engines. Where can I find out info on these tractors and engines? Thanks, Scott.

Sears has online information on most of their stuff. Sears.com, I believe, then you will need numbers off of the machine to get specifics.

For the engines, go to B&S site, ther's a link to where you enter in model,type and code and you'll get the engine's illustrated manual in PDF format. Once you save it, copy and rename it to something 'normal', B&S12hpVS.pdf.

By the way the 'code' is the year-month-day and shift when built (yrmtdy....). If the engine is original to the tractor, it's agreat way to figure out how old the unit is!

Check out http://www.asecc.com - www.asecc.com for old Briggs info. If they turn out to be model 23 engines I know I have several connecting rods and possibly a gasket set or 2.
