Missing numbers

[Death_Star_Janitor]

I have a Briggs with model 190402. The other numbers have been ground off. Is there any where else I can find other info on it?

Number supplied tells a lot. What do you need to know?

If I buy parts do I need the other numbers? Are there other numbers that I can find that will tell me if this an 8hp and not just a different cover? What can I tell from these numbers?

The other numbers have been ground off.

What can I tell from these numbers?

When I see numbers that have been ground off,
this usually tells me its stolen property.

Here are a few pics of what I have.

The numbers are not serial numbers so why grind them off? And why not grind all of them off? I just read the sticky about decoding the numbers so I know a little more about the motor.

Cool, sorry man. That kinda looks like it just had a sticker that simply fell off years ago...

Yeah, the Briggs website has info that might help ya ID it

There was no sticker. The numbers were ground off. That is why I think it might be a cover off a different engine. That is why I was asking if there is another way to ID it.

It seems the Briggs model #190402 is probably all numbers you'll need to find any available parts or info you'll need. Just click here--> http://www.google.com/search?source...lz=1T4GZAZ_enUS369US369&q=Briggs+model+190402

Before I start buying parts is there any other way of checking that those numbers are for this engine. The cover might be off a different one.

Take a look through some of the Google search Images in this link:

If that was my engine, I would go with that code, matches pics on Google of the same engine (search of model No.)
