Briggs & Stratton 44S977-0032-G1 25 GHP Vertical Shaft Engine, Black

I replaced my 22 HP Intek engine with this. Direct replacement, everything fits and connects easily. I did tap the mounting holes before I installed the engine, I think that makes it easier to get the bolts started. Very easy to change the engine on my Husqvarna lawn tractor. 3 more horses and it runs great now.

This engine has been an absolute work horse for me. I mounted it on a swisher trail mower and I put it through its paces over the last couple of mowing seasons. It has yet to let me down. Worth every penny. I had to alter the pull behind mower a bit for the new engine but once that was done it bolted right up and fired up pretty much instantly. If needing a new mower engine you can’t go wrong.

great swap for the smaller engines, this one is far superior and stonger. makes cutting grass quick and easy.not to mention, all my neighbors being jealous of how it runs now. yee haaw

Bought to replace an older 22 hp that died. Easy swap out. Runs great, plenty of power.

Great engine 5 more horsepower on my z246 made a big difference. No more full throttle wearing the engine out!

Great so far. I replaced the engine on my Scag Freedom Z in about 1 hr. Old engine was 2007 S&B 26hp with 840 hrs. All plugs and wires matched perfectly.

No good. After 2-3 uses gas flooded the entire engine and hydro locked.. this happened about 15 days after return window and unable to contact seller through Amazon. Briggs & Stratton's warranty claim here is essentially unreachable. The point you to your local dealer - which only deals with engines bought directly from them. So you are buying at your own peril here.

Was very surprised at how quickly I received my order and how well crated it was. My old mower engine got to leaking oil badly. I checked getting it repaired, buying a used engine, or repairing it myself. The whole new larger engine turned out to be most cost effective except for resealing the old one myself. My problem was needing the mower so couldn't risk running into the inevitable parts problems if doing it myself. Pulling the old engine and installing the new one only took a couple of hours as it was a direct bolt in replacement. The new one fired right up and runs great. One thing I didn't expect is an automatic choke. I just removed the old choke cable. Now I am resealing my old engine as I'm not under pressure. I'll have it as a spare should it be needed.
