Model:281123BV Serial: 41076273 So, my FIL picked up a pretty good looking snapper for 30 bucks.... guy said it needed carb work. Turned out it needed a new recoil start too, no big deal. Well the carbs on, got the pull start on. Got a few (3, maybe 4) starts out of it. Starting with the second start, the shroud (which the recoil housing screws to) started pulling loose. This would mean that I had to loosen, replace, then tighten it each time. This is because the bolts that keep the shroud in place do so by having a washer type head on the bolt hold down little plastic tabs. Apparently these tabs wear down over time, who’d have thunk that metal running plastic would wear it down? 🤯 Go to start it today’s making sure everything’s nice and tight. Shroud pulls loose with a metallic clang.One of the hole for the mount (that’s what I’m calling it) broke. This is part of the block, and the only way to secure the shroud. There are two on each side of the engine. As o go to pull the shroud off, I see the pawls for the recoil start fall. My recoil start that got here Tuesday, has broken. 🤬 I take usable pieces off the old one (only problem was the spring) and replace. As I’m securing the shroud, again, the other mount on the same side breaks. They were part of the aluminum block. Why you would have the recoil starts only point of contact with the machine be a piece of plastic, is beyond me. Why you would design the shroud to attach in such a poor way, is beyond me. How to fix this and make it usable, without buying a new engine, is also beyond me. Has anyone had this happen, and how did you fix it if you did?

Hello Everyone! I have come to believe that my PTO Interlock Switch is bad and i need to order a new one but i cannot find the part # and i cannot locate anything similar online, Please help me get one these damn things. I have come to checking the pto interlock switch because i am not getting any spark at my spark plug unless the ground wire on my magneto is not disconnected. leading me to think that i have a bad safety/kill switch somewhere. upon checking the pto interlock switch I am not getting any continuity from the switch points when the pto is engaged and the little switch is open. I get continuity when the pto is not engaged and the switch is closed. - It is 4 prong switch with a line coming from the seat kill switch, clutch kill switch and i guess it acts as the pto kill switch as well. Everything else seems to be fine so far. The ignition is sending good continuity to all wires, the clutch switch is good, *(although now i cant figure which terminals go to which wire or if it even matters?) The seat kill switch has been removed and the wires tied together so that should be ruled out. Please help me to find the this switch. I have gone through this entire motor and body trying to figure out how to get it going again. chainsaw season is coming and i need my lil wood puller. Also my lights are disconnected. That wouldn't break any currents or anything right? Any additional info would be awesome! Thank you and I look forward to discussing things with you guys! I am sorry. This is a 1983 GT 1142 with the 11hp Briggs. It has done many of amazing things just in the few years i have owned it. Remarkable little tractor!
