Need help identifing an engine

[Pumper54]

Greetings all,
I have an older model Sears 6.0 HP push mower that is now making loud clanking noise. Engine model is 143.016000, Engine Family is YTPXS.1851BA Displacement is 185 and DOM 1324 C.

This all that I have on the engine, Sears Direct Parts did say the engine is a Briggs and Stratton but did not know what model it was. Looking to find a Service Manual for it so any help would be welcomed. I am pretty handy with tools so I am looking forward to tearing into this thing.
It powers my "Mower from Hell" brush mower so I need to get it running right again.

Found out why the engine was running rough. Crank key holding the flywheel was sheared and the flywheel had a nasty chip out of it. Guess I will be looking for a new one.

IT LIVES! LOL
Replaced the parts I needed and with a bit of messing around with it: the flywheel brake assembly goes on BEFORE the flywheel the engine started on the third pull. I did check the engine mounting bolts and snugged them up a bit which might have added to the vibrations I was seeing/feeling. Now if it would ever stop raining so the weeds can dry I will be able to mow the dam at my farm.
You have a great weekend.

Glad to hear, but if you really want to say thanks, my yard work is about two and a half weeks behind. Just got off work, but it's raining. Let me know if you can help.

I would love to take a road trip to help you out but if you have been watching the news we have had a bit of rain here (18" in two weeks) and things are a bit soggy so both my yard and the farm need cutting big time. And more rain is forecast.

Again THANK YOU to you and pugaltitude for help IDing the engine
