    Talked to a friend of mine that runs a lawn mower parts store and they think the engine came off a Merry Tiller. Figured some one here might know what model it fits. It has a 110v electric start.

    Is there any chance of a photograph of the output crankshaft?

    I don’t have access to the main Briggs and Stratton parts listing, but my guess is that it was running something like a water pump which could be started and stopped automatically by a float switch. Having a 110V starter motor would rule it out of any mobile machinery and would steer us more in the direction of a fixed piece of plant with ready access to an industrial power supply.

    Unless, of course, somebody out there knows different…..!

    It would be useful if you could take a picture of the first part of the model number.

    Here is the full number. 81953 943709 5910060

    Also a picture of the Briggs and Stratton tag, I think it was originally green and painted white. The tag is above the green but below the white.
