Hi, I'm looking for a rpleacement engine for my lawn tractor. The old
engine was a B&S 15.5 hp I/C 2318.

This tractor has been relegated to use just for plowing snow in the
winter so I'd like t find a good used engine to put on it.

I'm having a rather unbelievably hard time finding anything on the net.
Where should I be looking?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Murph

I purchased an exact B&S engine for a rototiller from Northerntools. WW

I am going to guess you are not going to find a USED engine for this
beast. The cost difference between new and used and the supply and demand
issues are against you. These engines just burn out too easy and most owners
who may find that they have a good engine and a defective device are just
not going to go to the trouble to find a buyer to recycle the engine.

You might try contacting local shops that repair garden tractors.

You should not have a problem finding a new engine however.

Good advise. And if he starts looking at new engines, he should be
prepared for major sticker shock. Best I prices I found were Tecumseh.
