Tempoary seat for Murray 39004

Found some pics from when I moved the tractor into storage.  A few days later we obtained a bunch of equipment and I had to move it outside. Still shuffling things about.

Briggs 8HP Gear Reduction 170452 0549 01

New engine today. Still looking to decode some of the code. Does not make sense. 1704542-0549-01
EDIT:  The correct number is  170452 0549 01.  Thus the confusion.

EREPLACEMENT PARTS has a listing for  -99 suffix.  That is maybe the production line IIRC.  Many parts can still be purchased.  Need check this over see what it needs.  0.020 pistons are $78 LOL


Turns over with pull start. Seems to have compression.  Gear reduction maybe fooling me.



The recoil looks original or has been on the engine a long time.  I don't see an electric starter.


Have not checked out the gear reduction.    6:1 seems to be the common ratio.

Paper air cleaner.

STORED FOR NOW
