      Then change out all 4 tires for Agro tires.

I bought a brand new electric start 11 h.p. engine for it in 1990 when my dad was no longer able to pull the rope. Mowed with it 15 more years. I inherited the mower and took the engine off and put it on the mower that I use now. That engine has been running 33 years and still runs perfect. Knock on wood.

    Tyral, great video, thank you. We had a 1991 Dynamark rider that had a 12hp Briggs engine. It lasted for 25 years and then one of the deck hangers broke and wasn't able to weld it, so had to replace it. I replaced the second stock battery with a small automobile battery and the stock starter solenoid with a universal auto solenoid. Changed the oil every spring(good old 10W30) and lubed it every three seasons. We bought a blade for it and pushed snow with it as well(sometimes from those tough Iowa blizzards). Thanks again.

Good job in catching all that water in the tank too! You'd be surprised at how many people would have just tried starting it without even checking the inside of the tank - which sends WATER into the carb and the engine making everything even worse! Good thing you were able to find a carb and starter for this thing so quickly too!

    On this one, the problem was obvious, it’s the starter, don’t even need to check the solenoid.
    Something a lot of people don’t realize, when it comes to Briggs & Stratton starters, it’s the top bracket that defines what engine they go on, but that top bracket is interchangeable with other motors and you do not need to tear apart the entire starter to change that bracket.
    Something a lot of people don’t know, when it comes to changing out the starter on these engines, you do not need to remove the flywheel, if you put the flywheel in just right spot and use a 9/16 wrench you can get the bolt bolts out.

But it does have the bigger wheels, stronger axle and lower granny gear of a garden tractor; which is pretty cool... This thing says it's only a 16hp, but that's very conservative. Today, a 660 twin cylinder like this would be 22hp to 24hp. For example, I have a Kohler Courage, and they started out as a 540cc which was 16hp (single piston), and then moved up to a slightly larger piston to a 600cc, and now they are 'rated" 20hp to 22hp.. and this thing is a 660cc twin.. You can't really judge small engines by their HP rating; it seems like the testing has changed over the years. You're better off just comparing displacement.

      No offense but IM experience we got a new 1975 8/36 Danajunk and cut one bumpy acre for five years and the frame was cracked,the hood always vibrated against the dash making a terrible metallic sound. No possy the brakes sucked and the aluminum Briggs had no cast iron sleeve so it smoked like hell after five years! Hated that piece of shit!

    I like that. I could use that around the property to pull 'stuff' instead of my mower. I like the swage idea. When I was a service rep, I carried the 2 barrel aluminum swages and crimper on the truck.

    Used a Dynamark back in the mid seventies to make some extra money mowing lawns.
    An average lawn brought me 3 bucks, which is about 20 bucks nowadays.
    Had to pay for the upkeep of the mower though!

      How I got that mower 🤔 when I was a kid my dad had a small lawn mowing buisness for family and friends and stuff he kept about a dozen lawns a week, his name was George and the business name was George of the Jungle lawn care, I still have some old cards, I always went with him to mow the lawns, he died out of nowhere when I was 12 my mom was poor so she sold his stuff since I was to young to drive and pull the trailer, I kept the old push mower and a Ryan brand weed wacker that had the worst carbs ever. I knocked on doors in the neighborhood mowing lawns and found that dynamrk behind a shed, I made a deal with the owner to mow his grass for free all year for that mower once a week cut. Then had a old neighbor help me get it running. Down the road I did the same deal for a
      New craftsman push mower for a older lady just had to mow her lawn for free and I could have the mower. Mowing was a side hustle I always had until I started another distribution buisness that pays me better lol . Now I just now my 5 acres and that’s enough.

If u have a weak altrrnator on ur lawn tractor, get some cheap leds to replace the tungsten bulbs. They will give great light and draw hardly any current. Keep the Mini Mad Max projects coming.

      Most of them had splash lube. The Ones with oil filter are pressure lubed with oil pump. I had one on a ayp lawn tractor used it for 18 years on 2.5 acres. Then replace it with another briggs opposed twin . The original factory magnetron ignition was the add on unit until briggs replaced it with the integrated unit. The vertical and horizontal models used identical blocks , they interchange.

    I still have a few of those (I think). (2) 11/36 and a 10/36 (maybe 2) & a 8/32.
    1 of the 11/36 was my great Grandpa's he bought new in 81. Took the motor off and put it on the other one in 94 because the steering bushings and transmission was warn out. He used it for transmission on an 80 acre farm for 10 years.
