They came with a Briggs Model 14 L-head. Model #1433xx. I had one that had a swapped in 142xxx, and visually, they were identical (I had the original 1433xx also.

I actually just looked at a real sharp one today on my lunch hour, at auction. Everything looked great, but someone yanked the rope free of the starter. Had a nice, operating, 32" deck, hubcaps, original seat cover and original owner's manual for tractor and deck. There were fresh green grass clippings all over it, so I assume it was running and mowing.

BIG word of advise...natural inclination when wanting to slow down is to pull the joystick back towards you. Only problem is that speeds it up. Nearly took out a fairly new HVAC unit when I did that when mowing with my Wards version (pics in the earlier post).

If at first you don't succeed...grab a bigger hammer!

Josh,

I finally tracked down a Model 14 engine ( from a walking tractor ), and it already runs smoothly. Unfortunately I don't have my 575 with me to check the fit.... as the engine 'seems' rather large in comparison to the engine-cover I remember....it is roughly 16 or 17" tall.
