Hi folks,
I'm stumped. I have several circa 1980s Jacobsen and Homelite self-propelled mowers with 3.5 and 5.0hp Briggs Quantum engines. Now, the various mowers differ slightly with baggers, turbo vacs, dead man switches, etc but the main engines are mostly the same. Without a model and serial number it's difficult ordering the correct parts. Briggs and Stratton says the numbers are stamped into the metal or sheetmetal in one of three locations on the mower. I've stripped one and can't see ANY number on the engine. A few have Jacobsen to Homelite (UT30084A) stickers on the deck but that isn't helping with engine ID. B+S insists it's there, but it's not for me to see? and I have looked at most of the 8. The carbs are Walbro with a Briggs logo cast into it but no numbers, either.
Do any of you have some concrete information or links about the Quantum 3.5 and 5hp? to get me closer.
Thanks from Nova Scotia
