You can buy a direct replacement at Tractor Supply or Northern Hardware or you could switch to an Tecumseh or Onan motor. Just make sure the mounting bolt pattern and shaft length and diameter are the same. When the 8 hp Briggs motor on my Snapper riding mower wore out, I replaced it with a 10 hp Tecumseh engine with a cast iron cylinder sleeve and electronic ignition for about $40 less than the same 8 hp Briggs motor (no cast iron cylinder or electronic ignition). Although I had a bad experience with a Tecumseh motor on a Craftsman push mower many years before, I LOVED the tecumseh on the Snapper.

Depending how old it is, you can get a warrenty through the dealer you bought it. Briggs had some bad builds where the wrist pin holding clip was not installed and this let the pin ride on the cylinder wall untill it wore down enough to come out of the piston skirt and lock up causing the rod to break. 2017 xr80 service manual download. I wrote to briggs about this problem and they sent me a short block for free, the tractor was out of warrenty by one year-they wouldnt sent the parts to me directly,dealer only and I had to give them my old one-the dealer would have done the work for me at a cost, but i did it myself since I am a mechanic.

1170 Cub Cadet Owner's Manual

One Engine, Two Filters An RZT zero turn radius mower equipped with a Kawasaki engine requires two oil filters - screw-type filter KM- and an inner oil filter screen KM. This inner screen provides added protection in filtering particles from the oil so they don’t damage the engine. It is rectangular in shape and pushes into the engine rather than screwing on. The Z-Force Model 44 equipped with a Kawasaki engine also uses an outer and inner filter system. Use screw-type filter KM- and inner filter KM- on the model. Briggs & Stratton Engines Not all Cub Cadet RZT series mower come with a Kawasaki engine. Some Z-Force 44 models are outfitted with a Briggs & Stratton engine.

These models take filter BS-492932, a screw-on style filter. They do not need an inner oil filter screen like the Kawasaki engines. To determine if your mower has a Kawasaki or Briggs & Stratton engine, lift the hood and locate the label on the engine. The label will give the brand name and other information related to the engine. Sometimes this label lists the part number for the correct oil filter.
