Engine replacement

[Hoop2 0]

I have a Broadmoor with a 15 horse Briggs engine that has locked up. The machine is a late 90's. Can it be replaced with a Honda engine and will everything hook up without any alternations?

You will have better luck posting under tractor discussions. I think the answer to your question will be "Depends on What Honda motor you will use."

It would be cheaper and easier in the long run to put a Briggs motor back in. You may get by with a short block. Do you know why the motor locked up? How many hours on the motor?

Here`s a good place to look for a replacement engine http://smallenginewarehouse.com/. They have good prices and may have the same Briggs that you need.

Before you swap engine, take off starter. Locked up Briggs' engines are at times, a jambed starter gear into ring and it has all of the appearances of a tight engine..

If its not something simple like jambed starter,pushrod came off,etc. they are usually junk,inside,,they hand-grenade so nicely!,they are much more sensitive to overheating,or low oil, than the old motors,unlike an ol cast iron tr-ow a rod in it,wipe off crank, go another 25 yrs!,,
