Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): air and fuel filter, correct model number, trailmower

Question
Where do I find the model and serial number for my swisher 44" trailmower. And where can I purchase an air and fuel filter for it?

Answer
To find the correct parts you'll need to identify the engine manufacturer. As well as it's correct model number. Sometimes a mower manufacture uses different engine manufacturers on the same piece of equipment. The engine model number should appear on the engine shroud somewhere stamped into the thin metal portion. The manufactures name should be on a sticker on the top. Once you have this information you can locate a local dealer of the engine. Should you have trouble finding the model number, and bring the parts into the dealer they usually can match them up without the model number.            Tom
