Hello all, this is my first time posting, but I"m hoping someone can help me out. I have a 1963 Springfield 36 tractor I received from my father in law. It used to belong to his father, and I would like to restore it back to original condition. The major problem I have is that back in the 80"s, the original Briggs engine died and my father in law had a local shop replace it with a new engine, which obviously was not the same as the original. The problem I am having is trying to track down the original model and type for the Briggs engine that came in these tractors. I recently purchased a 1962 Springfield 36 someone had locally, but unfortunately it has the original Kohler engine, not the Briggs. I"m wondering if A) anyone out there has a Springfield 36 with a Briggs engine and can get me the model info or B) if anyone knows where I may be able to buy one of these old Briggs engines, running or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
