Identification help

[mick il]

I have an old sears and roebuck riding mower with what looks like the original engine. All I have is a model number and that goes nowhere. Is there any way to find more info? Thanks

Which are you trying to identify? Mower or engine? Here’s a list by the three number model prefix:http://vintagemachinery.org/craftsman/manufacturers.aspx

Pictures and posting the numbers you have might help.

Are these enough?

It looks as if it could be either a

1966 Model 131.8430

Or a

1967 Model 131.8530

The 131 series was built by Roper for Sears. Only made for two years. 1966 - 1967.

Man, that looks like a real good candidate for full restoration.
Cute little thing and would be easy to transport around to shows.
