Hello, I called sears parts and they can't tell me. I bought a riding
mower at a auction cheap it did not have a engine i just thought i would
put one on it, any way i need to know what it had, all sears could tell
me was it was a briggs and stratton the decals are torn off, the model
number is 917.252933 it has a 44 inch deck and a varidrive trans. sears
was able to give me the engine model number also 4027070132-07 but that
is all the info i have other than it is an older model silver-gray with
red strip if anyone can identifiy this for me please email me thanks
