I doubt you are reading the MFG date right - I think it's the 49th day of 1983 - your engine date code puts it at 12/10/1982 -- So to format it a little better: Briggs model 422707 Type 0133-01 date code 82121012 (and for those looking for parts list that matches type number, change the -01 to a -99 because those old trim codes no longer show in online parts catalogs.. in other words you'd look for a type 0133-99)goulgetter88 wrote:Model # for the mower..3-39004 MFG date 0493 yes I know that this makes it a 93 I believe. The engine code stamp: model #4227070133 type 01 code 82121012
I hope these numbers will clear up somethings for those looking at parts diagrams. Ive tried looking before and could not find what I was looking for.
When moving the throttle cable the linkage doesnt move at all. It just sits there. I will try to submitted a photo or video.
As Skywatcher said - throttle linkage may not necessarily move when engine not running as governor spring tension may hold throttle at wide open anyway. So you want to look at the governor spring and see if it stretches as the throttle lever on tractor is moved from slow to fast. So best bet if you can't trace the movement of throttle cables, springs, linkages, is find the governor spring and observe it while moving throttle lever in dash and see if it extends and retracts as you move throttle.
