Need an engine for lawn tractor

Oct 03, 2005 5 Replies

Hi, I'm looking for a rpleacement engine for my lawn tractor. The old engine was a B&S 15.5 hp I/C 2318.



This tractor has been relegated to use just for plowing snow in the winter so I'd like t find a good used engine to put on it.



I'm having a rather unbelievably hard time finding anything on the net. Where should I be looking?



Thanks for any help you can give me.

I purchased an exact B&S engine for a rototiller from Northerntools. WW

Northern Tool has a good selection

GO to the B&S site to get your model number etc:

I am going to guess you are not going to find a USED engine for this beast. The cost difference between new and used and the supply and demand issues are against you. These engines just burn out too easy and most owners who may find that they have a good engine and a defective device are just not going to go to the trouble to find a buyer to recycle the engine.

You might try contacting local shops that repair garden tractors.

You should not have a problem finding a new engine however.

Good advise. And if he starts looking at new engines, he should be prepared for major sticker shock. Best I prices I found were Tecumseh.
