Im happy to get some more photos, will have to wait until tonight, though. Is it just not possible that the Briggs is the original engine? i have seen pics on here of another with a similar engine....Not that im questioning you, it just seems to look like an original install at first glance.
if theres any specific requests for pics let me know, otherwise i will just go crazy with the camera LOL
i wish i knew where to look for a serial number or something
the more i find out about it the more excited i get LOL
