Thank you, from the date code on the Briggs, its a 1989 engine, and I am sure its the original as the owner I bought it from said he had it from new.
Done a full strip down and am de-rusting bits and rust treating the underside. Lucky the chassis is very heavy gauge metal and its really only surface rust.
I am amazed at the spares still available for it. Ordered a few things and most were over the counter.
