Your Briggs engine was built in February of 1957 and is a 10 hp. Some say a 9 hp, but Briggs listed it as a 10. The middle set of numbers are the type, which dictated any changes (wanted by the equipment manufacturers) from the basic engine. This manual might be of some help to you. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6NaqjIxWV1yeVdtMUNaTzlpWmc/view

Looks if Rivets got there before me...! 23A model number and the 703010 is the type number and has its been said around the 1950's, and was a good engine at its time.

You will get on fine without China
The only people getting hurt will be the multi billionairs who own or run companies that import the rubbish to fit to their local product rather than local parts .
Fully USA made will add 10% to 50% to the price of local goods so the employers will be forced to increase wages to the level that they should be.
The massive wage disparity where a CEO will be paid more per hour than his employees are paid per year is only possible by importing cheap goods from overseas.
Without that the employees would exert proper wage pressure on the company, or even worse unionise.
Even Henry Ford realized that and his production line workers were paid 15 times what the modern Ford workers are paid ( inflation adjusted )
