On a 1994 Craftsman SP mower. I read a list that it was a TVS120 and ordered head gasket 32643. Way too small. Found out later on Sears IPL that it needs gasket 36477.
Either seller listed gasket incorrectly or engine isn't a TVS120. Anybody have a cross reference - Tecumseh to Sears engine model#? Thanks, Doug

Thanks, Russ. That's the data I read. I just saw gasket for TVS120 and ordered. Later, learned the part #s don't jive. I should do later earlier.

36477 is the correct number for your head gasket.
