    Briggs 725 EXI on my Snapper 21"?

    I can find the Briggs 163 cc 7.25 torque engines with the 25 mm shaft diameter but none with the 2 3/4 inch shaft length. All of them are 3 and 5/32" now. Will the longer shaft length be ok???

    Questions about blade brake cable connection on these new types of engines used on push mowers.

    I'd have to order the bail bar and cable for this Snapper. I don't want do that. I did away with all that on my original late 80's Snapper and same with this 1998 model that's shown with the Intek engine. In fact this Intek does get extremely difficult to re-start after it's warmed up good and...

    Questions about blade brake cable connection on these new types of engines used on push mowers.

    I'm looking to replace a tired Briggs Intek 6 hp engine (about 1994) on my Snapper 21" Hi-Vac. These new Briggs equivalents are "pull and go" with no primer bulb or start/ stop lever control. Plus I see the carbs are now made of cheap plastic. And there's no oil drain plug on these engines. It's...

    Briggs 725 EXI on my Snapper 21"?

    Using the conversion formula of Torque X RPMs divided by 5252 gives these results in equivalent HP for whatever it may be worth: Multiply the torque by the rpms and divide by 5252. To wit: Briggs 190cc 8.75 torque series @3600 RPMS divided by 5252 = 5.997 HP Briggs 163cc 7.25 torque series...

    Briggs 725 EXI on my Snapper 21"?

    Well, my vintage (mfg date 2000) Troy-Bilt Bronco (MTD) rotor-tiller has a Briggs 5.5hp engine (190cc) on it and it will kick your a** if you don't operate it correctly. I think I've made my decision based on my thoughts and contributing feedback. I'm going with the 7.25 series engine that's...

    Briggs 725 EXI on my Snapper 21"?

    These new Briggs engines will indeed fit the Snapper 21" Hi-Vac mowers. The guy I spoke with at my local Snapper dealer said the mulching type HI Vac decks have not changed at all since 1998, they are all still the same. I went by and looked at the various models on the showroom floor. Briggs...

    Briggs 725 EXI on my Snapper 21"?

    Original Tecumseh is shown pictured. My 6hp Briggs Intek that I replaced it with is also shown with the clearance around the carb assembly. This new Briggs replacement that has the correct 25mm and 3 5/32" dimensions is shown. I question if the muffler will fit on the deck.

    Briggs 725 EXI on my Snapper 21"?

    Looks like the Tecumseh that I took off and replaced with my 6HP Briggs Intek (which fit exactly) does indeed have the 25mm (.984" shaft diameter). So, the proper replacement would be the Briggs 190cc model 125P02-0012-F1. Shaft length is 3.156". It's more like my Briggs that's on there. Price...

    Briggs 725 EXI on my Snapper 21"?

    Well, the Briggs Intek 6hp I put on matched up fine so it must have been similar to the original Tecumseh engine from 1998. Looking at the Tecumseh it appears to be 7/8 but not sure of the length cause the engine pulley and blade drive hub are still on there. I can remove both (hopefully not...
