Default Where can I get a used lawn tractor engine?

Hi,

Where should I be looking to find a rpelacemtn for a B&S 15.5 hp IC
engine? I want a used one because I'm just going to be using this
tracotr for plaowing snow off the driveway, I upgraded to a ZTR mower
when the engine blew on this one.

It's been surprisingly hard to find a suitable engine on the net, even
Ebay seems to have very little selection.

So if anyone has any ideas or suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Thanks,

Gearing up for winter in Chicago

P.S. If anyone has an advice on how high/low I should go with the hp I
would appreciate that as well.


My guess is that you can spend $75 for a used engine, spend 4 hours
exchanging them and have no idea how good the "new" engine is or spend $100
to buy an old running machine without a mower deck, hook up a plow and do
your thing.
