Suburban with 5HP Briggs- Looking for starter motor info

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,583]

I have a 5 hp Briggs on my 551 Suburban and I would like to add a 12 volt starter motor. Does anyone know a part number or any information on the starter that I would need? It is the I/C model.

Look for model 131237 any of the rest will get you what you need.

There is a NOS 110 volt starter on e-bay, maybe could use a converter????? Search 5hp Briggs electric start

Chris,

I thought for sure that my brother wanted it and I offered it to him but he is looking for something in the fall that is a front mounted motor like a 702 or 753 etc. I ended up pulling the carb off and soaking it for a while in carb tank, Changed the rear end fluid and motor oil. Peeled off the incorrect decals and have been using it around the yard today. She may end up getting made into a hot rod similar to what Ken B did with his over the winter but we will see ??

These are the holes you need.

Some look like this but, the lower hole can be drilled

they have the reinforcement cast in for it
