Briggs & StrattonBriggs & Stratton 44S977-0032-G1 25 GHP Vertical Shaft Engine, Black

The New 25 HP Briggs and Stratton engine was a great replacement for my tired old 22 HP Briggs and Stratton motor. The new engine fired right up and has lots of power. Really nice to have it not bog down when the mower deck is engaged. It saved me from replacing my entire mower at this time and will likely get us another 3 or 4 seasons out of our old John Deere lawn tractor. That would make it about 20 years old upon retirement. Not bad for a ‘box store’ mower.

Bolted right on to my Husqvarna YTH21K46. Had to tap the bolt holes(you need a tap and die set). Otherwise, everything else was plug and play. Wonderful engine. Very pleased.

Was very surprised at how quickly I received my order and how well crated it was. My old mower engine got to leaking oil badly. I checked getting it repaired, buying a used engine, or repairing it myself. The whole new larger engine turned out to be most cost effective except for resealing the old one myself. My problem was needing the mower so couldn't risk running into the inevitable parts problems if doing it myself. Pulling the old engine and installing the new one only took a couple of hours as it was a direct bolt in replacement. The new one fired right up and runs great. One thing I didn't expect is an automatic choke. I just removed the old choke cable. Now I am resealing my old engine as I'm not under pressure. I'll have it as a spare should it be needed.

I have a John Deere E140 that had a bad oil leak at the crankshaft and blew the motor. I contacted briggs who directed me to the local dealer to look at the exact engine model and type code. There are many type codes that are very similar and compatible and the briggs dealer was able to confirm compatibility of thus one. Amazon was 150 cheaper so I ordered through here and it came in 2 days in a huge amazon freight truck. Upon unboxing the motor was in good shape and packed well. It comes with a gasket kit for the muffler as you will need to supply a muffler. Thankfully my old muffler fit perfectly. Also the old engine mount bolts are self tapping and the new engine block does not have the mount bolts pre-threaded. Use your old bolts to carefully thread the new block - I did this before mounting the engine as it was easier to see. I hooked up the few cables, throttle, and air/fuel lines, and filled up with oil and she cranked up in about 10 seconds after the fuel got flowing. Overall, it was not too hard and I got up and running to cut my yard a few days after my engine blew. Very pleased with my purchase and time will tell if this briggs engine will hold up and not have the oil leak like my original.

My old Briggs engine blew. I replaced it with this. So far so good.

Arrived quick, installation was simple and so far this engine seems to be running better than the original.

Great zero turn replacement

The media could not be loaded. More power and save money $2,500 to buy. A new one. Engine mounts is not ready you need to make your own
