If a consumer application the Briggs 44Q777-3136 or 3137 would be an economical choice depending on the crank size needed. Vanguard 49E series if a commercial unit. Kawasaki and Honda are also good choices if there is enough room on the credit card.

Luffy not all 840's have the crankshaft dimensions as that Bad Boy engine. Some are 1" instead of 1-1/8". Here is the SV840-3018 crankshaft dimensions. Of course you need to convert to SAE.

Didn't really want to go from one brand to another because if he does he would have to buy new muffler and new wiring harness for the mower. All of those would add up to much to money. It being a courage from 2007 I am very surprised it held up this long. One of those block plugs came out and blowed the oil out before he could get it shut down. Wasn't the oil drain plug it was the one that came in from the factory. This is the first case I have seen this plug come out.

Here is a link to a place that their specialty is small engine replacement. they also have lots of parts for small engines, such a pulleys, bearings, belts etc that is not readily seen on-line for some reason)

You will have to nose around on-line to find contact info. If you give them the EXACT engine ID numbers you want to replace, they make all the decisions. If it's a Briggs L-head which is NLA. they will tell you replacement options and even give them the equipment model, for example and mower and they can tell you of any mods that might need to be done, such as exhaust, choke, throttle, etc., USUALLY. If the don't just ask them about mods needed.

They have a toll free phone number for tech support somewhere.

They were email only sometime back, but finally got a tech phone number.

They usually have to review and call you back.

Located in Oklahoma and Florida.

The town is Oklahoma is called Kansas which is misleading and the name Tulsa is also misleading, they are 100 miles east of Tulsa and been in business quite awhile.

Even if you do not buy from them you can get their recommended model replacement info and go searching elsewhere knowing what you need.
