I have a snapper push lawn mower serial no. 06061785 and model no. 21357B. I was told that it is hard to find a briggs and straton motor for it. Would like to have a 5 hp. Any help on model no. of motor that can fit my base
 
Since it's a 3.5 - any cheap mower from Wal Mart with a Briggs should be able to give you a donor engine.

Doing it that way is way cheaper than just buying a brand new engine. A new engine alone will cost you twice what a new mower with that same engine does from Wally World.
 
I've considered finding a "donor" engine for my Snapper HiVac walk behind and have discovered that it's easier said than done.

The most significant "detail" is crankshaft length. My Snapper needs a 7/8 x 3 5/32 crank. Most are not.

Then...there are various minor details such as which way the starter rope pulls....and various clearance issues.

I've found cheap old snappers on craigslist that have engines that will fit my deck and just swapped them. I would try looking there for a mower that is similar to yours and just take the motor off of it and put it on your deck.
