Ned specs. for this engine Please..

[Doubletrouble 10]

A buddy has a craftsman engine he is thinking of parting with but i need to know exactly what it is first. The numbers are as follows: 143 680012 ser 7350E

Would this motor be a good candidate to repower my '71 work horse 800? Or would I be better off passing on this one or maybe just rebuild the original 8hp tecumseh? I would like to have some more power to possibly someday run a larger mower deck, but not sure if I want to depart from original equip. just looking for opinions here. Thanks to all that reply.

Bill: You can go to sears.com and place the engine number online in their parts search and you should be able to find the diagram for all the parts. etc.

Thanks guys, that helps some but I would like to find out the hp rating on it. I didn't see that listed on the sears site.

ya! 14 H.P. that the ticket :scratchead:

14hp was my original thought but I wanted to call on some of the experiance here to be sure. Would this be a decent engine to repower my tractor with? It is an OHV motor, will that cause clearence problems with the hood? Any other thoughts on possibly putting this engine in or should I pass and hold out for a Kohler?
