Steve, I've got an old 3 hp Briggs with code 6222051. The parts warehouses are asking if it's older than 6212310. Can you help me out? It doesn't have a coil, and I THINK that a 591420 (magnetron) will work, but only if it's older than 6212310. If not, I need the ancient sideways coil (291617). Any help would be appreciated!

You better double check with Briggs because they did not date them like that in 1959. Anything prior to 1965 and the code will not tell you the year. So your engine could be 1950, or it could be 1964 no way for that code to tell you. If Briggs cant pull it up for you some of the guys on the antique websites can. The older ones have the DOM stamped on the back of the flywheel if you have an original flywheel on your engine, thats another way to see.

Hey Steve I just sold my mother's old Craftsman 5 hp front tine garden triller for $125.00 . I told the young man that bought it the life story of the 1978 model triller , told him it got used at most 10 too 12 hours a year and it still had a lot of life left in it . It didn't look the best after being that old and being keep in a shed all of its life . Well to make a long story short , he called me two days later and said it did great . He said he'd trilled an acre up with it and run just fine . I knew it would - but I told him that was a bit much for such a small Tiller . He'd really called to ask was octane of gas I use , I told him I use only 93 octane in all my small engines . Anyway this kinda went along with your old 1976 model Briggs engine story video . Thank you for you great help with small engines Marshall Border Jonesboro Arkansas 👍

That's a '76 Briggs & Statton Recoil Starter pulled from an old Briggs & Stratton Engine! Especially if it's a 3.5 HP Classic Engine! I have a '86 model of a Briggs & Stratton coded with the 86 as the first two digits. I bought an old stock from Small Engines Warehouse about 10 years ago a decade brand new and strapped on a 1993 Murray Push Mower Deck. I had to use washers after I used a tool make the threads. The engine came out when I was born in August of '86. Lol Great video Steve! You know your engines really well sir! Take Care, Phil

To piggyback on your suggestion, when trying to read the engine numbers, use chalk. It’s not permanent and is super cheap. You can just about buy a box of sidewalk chalk for the price of a permanent marker. It’ll be able to be used for more that you think(from wood working to entertaining your kiddos). I’d suggest using a color that will best contrast your engine color to better assist you in reading the needed info. Once you’ve thoroughly colored over them, using light pressure wipe away the excess. Doing this will leave the chalk color in the numbered imprints. Thanks for the videos!!!

If you have an antique built prior to 1965, you can find your DOM stamped on the back of your flywheel if the engine still has the same flywheel. Also their are a few antique websites with guys who know when they were built and you can always try Briggs customer support, sometimes they have the info to look up. Not sure what year they stopped stamping the back of the flywheel, but I have two old ones, a 41 model I, and a 54 model 6s that I had dated from the antique guys and they were right when I looked and verified it with the back of the flywheel.

This is good information. Although, not all Briggs &Stratton are identified this way. For example, a 1957 model 19, will list a model, type and seriel number on a data plate. Which is located on the side of the engine. In 5his case, Briggs has a downloadable file which allows matching the seriel number configuration with the year of manufacture. Just an additional resource.

Someone just gave me a tiller with this engine. After watching vid, it was made in 1976. They said it had not been started in years. Removed the clogged air filter and left it off. Put about a half inch of gas in the tank. Removed spark plug and just cleaned with rag and reinstalled. First pull it sputtered. Second pull ran rough until I unchoked it. Now running smooth as silk and no smoke. No smoke even on start up. I have restarted it several times now and starts on second pull. Did I get lucky? How the hell can a 46 yo engine that has not been started in years run on second pull! The tiller works great as well.

I notice you work on Stihl products quite often which is my favorite. How can you tell the age of Stihl items? I had heard once you cannot tell by the code. I’m hoping that information is wrong. Can you help me out?

Same search technic 4 vertical shaft Briggs? Would it be possible to fully re-condition that motor? (Possible, but probably not feasible $$$ or time-wise, right?)

From a dealers point of view all of these numbers are mega important and speeds up any help finding parts. Especially the model and type numbers are needed if you are calling up for spare parts as any Briggs and Stratton parts look up need these numbers to look up the correct engine model, the code number will help as certain parts might only be dated for a certain engine. These numbers can also be located either on the rocker covers or a riveted on plate on most large single cylinder engines or v-twin engines, stamped on a plate above the exhaust, on the cowling as Steve said or stamped on the engine block somewhere. Other engine manufacturers also have important engine numbers either stuck on with a sticker or engraved into the engine block I.e Honda. Quoting other important numbers to dealers also helps as well like chassis serial numbers.

I have Model, Type and Serial# on a name plate. The numbers are all legible. No CSI needed. The modle is Briggs & Stratton 23AFB. Type 703511, serial 616133. Should I be able to figure out the HP and year built from this information? Am I missing something? Thankyou.
