Find Your Lawn Mower Engine Model Number

Lawn mower owners will need to know their small engine model number in to order to find your Briggs & Stratton manual and maintenance or repair parts. For push mowers, the lawn mower engine model number is generally the number stamped into metal directly on your engine. Some push mower engines come with a cover or "shroud". It should be noted that these covers come in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes.

If you have a push lawn mower powered by a Briggs & Stratton engine, your model number is in one of three locations.

On the front of the engine directly above the spark plug
On the front of the engine between the OHV symbol and the air cleaner
Stamped on the sheet metal above the muffler, either on the right or left side
