Thanks Rivets. More than I thought so I'll first try $200.

Had since I was 2yrs old. Worked great, no problems for first 25yrs but things started to fall apart after that. New engine in 1997. I used my amateur skills to weld and form pieces to keep it going. Still starts and runs good, however smokes a little upon startup for about 30 seconds then...

I understand now. Thanks StarTech.

Engine was replaced. My father said it was a 8hp but not sure. Original on riding lawnmower was a 7hp. This one looks a lot like the one I took off it which worked for 9yrs, so I hope it works. I guess I'll just connect both wires to the same ground or would it be better to ground both wires...

So I removed a coil with one ground that attached onto the top of the coil. This new coil (see my pic) has 2 grounds which said it was for my engine. So where does the 2nd ground wire go to? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your help hlw49

Anyone know how you add oil to the 3 speed transmission? There's no oil pour or drain bolt that I can see. I was going to take the bolts off the shifter but I'm afraid a spring or something will come flying out never to be seen again. Its on a 1972 Huffy riding lawnmower which has a Briggs...

Bertsmobile might be right. I remember destroying the engine when I went over a raised sewer grate when I was 14. I don't know where my father took it but they put a new engine on it. Thanks for the responses and I'll check out Facebook.

Here's the coil I took off. The little sticker is mostly unreadable, however I think the first numbers are 31-2...something. I know it was replaced around 2005 by a friend who I thought knew a lot about engines but turned out to be just another hack..like me! Looks a lot like the part number...

Somehow I gave you guys the number wrong....whoops...I'm not smart. Here's the correct number. I'm guessing they take the same parts?

My dad bought this Huffy Sheraton from Sears brand new in 1972. I never noticed until now its triple stamped. Anyone know why? Thanks

Hey thanks StarTech. This info really helps.

I guess they didn't make this awesome engine for too long because I can't find any parts for it. I think 1969 thru 1973. 7hp B&S on a Huffy Sheraton riding mower. Its been the best engine I've ever had by far. I think number on the shroud is 170702 0645 02 6903271. 50yrs, abused and...

Update - Winters of 2021/22 were mild again, so I used it less than 10 times. Plow is getting bent up but no issues with MKX. I got stuck but noticed I still had traction control on. Once I turned it off, it bit in to the snow and accelerated out of the snow drift. (which is what most car...

I'm just guessing but if belt is correct, maybe replacing springs would help? After so many heat and cool down cycles, springs might look OK, but they change their molecular structure, so maybe giving too much tension on the belts? If not that, check for play in rear axle bearings/bushings...

The guide pin and edge of tension pulley shredded the larger 1/2" belt. (see 3rd pic red belt) So instead of 1/2" or even 3/8" belts, I'm going to try a 10mm x 710mm belt. (I installed it but don't need to cut anything yet) . The new black belt I just put on still touches the guide pin (see...

(Not my pic.) Parents bought 1972 Huffy Sheraton riding lawn mower new...and I've been cutting their lawn for past 40yrs. Anyone know what size belts this thing takes? Having heck of a time finding correct belts as I've tried different sizes over the years. I don't have manual (and probably...

Just a follow up. Winters of 2020 and 2021 were again a little below average snowfall. No huge snowstorms like I remember back in the 1980's. I notice I don't have to depress the accelerator any further than I did on my 04 Colorado or 93 Jeep. Not sure but seems like I'm putting a little...

Sorry, but couldn't find this issue on forum. Both run great, then when I run out of gas and fill it up, they will not start even with ether and no filter but start if I turn if off hot and restart it without refilling. Wait about 12 hours and they start. I haven't played with the float...

1969 - 1974 Huffy Sheraton or Caprice. Looking for mower junkyards or anyone willing to sell the unique blade pulley. (see pic) I know my welding is crappy but its the pulley that is all bent up due to it flying off while in operation before my welding. I think these direct drive pulleys...

What do you guys think? Are my physics and match correct? I'm a product of the early 80's when I saw anemic trucks with low hp and torque plowing snow, so I figured why can't any vehicle do it today? This took a lot longer to hook up than on my Jeep since its lower and the Lincoln's frame is...

1969 - 1974 Huffy Sheraton or Caprice. Looking for mower junkyards or anyone willing to sell the unique blade pulley. (see pic) I think these direct drive pulleys were only made for Huffys, maybe some MTD's and Craftsman riding mowers. I welded the pulley back together 5 years ago. Worked...
