He is restoring it and will need some information and probably parts for it The engine is in California at the moment. It is a Sears # 500 300515 124 . The numbers were hard to read. I know 500 was Brigg's supply number to Sears but not quite sure about the other numbers. It looks like a Briggs model "B" engine. Anyone got a cross reference? Thanks Gene Davis [Reply]   [No Email]

I have the armature from a Model B from a guy in Ca. now to repair.It is from a Kohler Gen. I am waiting on the new coil as STEN has shutdown for the holidays. Could this be the same guy you are speaking of? Kent [Reply]  [No Email]

I am away from my parts book at another computer. when I get to my parts book I will check if your engine is a Model B. If the coil is bad, I have a relative cheap way to fix the mag.

At the moment my friend in California hasn't got very far into it. Gene Davis [Reply]  [No Email]
