replace uncommon part
while I was trying to start a lawn mower for a friend after the winter storage noticed that air cleaner cover and filter was missing . Replacement parts had available just the cover and filter, instead of complete air cleaner assembly. saved money and mower by keeping dirt out and clogging carburetor.

Part replacement
The replacement air filter I received was the incorrect part for my Craftsman lawn mower. However the Briggs and Stratton customer service personnel were awesome and immediately corrected the error by mailing the correct filter within the week at no charge! Excellent service!!!!!

Removed the one bolt holding the bracket for the mulching plug and installed the new one in its place. Ordered a new pin and torsion spring, but it came with them already installed. I had to use a small pry bar to align the bracket that's under spring tension, to the mower deck
Installed the new air filter and cover after thoroughly cleaning the area. This mower belongs to a friend that asked me to fix it up for him.
