Hi Pat, the numbers (Type, Code etc) are stamped on the air cowling of the Briggs engine....see the black rectangle area I marked on your engine...Here's a pic....

Don't forget to post the whole string of numbers, this will give us the date of manufacture of the engine and the approximate age of your machine. wink

Re:your owners manual, I don't know where to find one for you at present...we don't have one in the Parts Lists and Manuals area...only the parts list is available there.

Re: sharpening of your reel, the only way to do that is to remove the reel and soleplate with the bottom blade attached (bedknife) and take them to an engineer/machinist who will sharpen them for you....Have a look at this thread...Click HERE

As far as parts go, things have just gotten a little harder with one of the suppliers of SB parts taking his website down. This is not auguring well for the future of the rarer machines such as yours. cry
