Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): craftsman 4-cycle engine model # 143.999001 Replacement, briggs and stratton, hp briggs

Question
QUESTION: Thanks again for the response, but I think something was lost from the original question, which was "I have a craftsman 9.0 hp 26 inch dual stage, 120v electric start snowthrower Model # 536.886260 with a craftsman 4-cycle engine model # 143.999001 that I want to replace. What other type of direct fit engine can I  replace this with." Your last response deals with building a pulley. Still seeking the answer to this question. Your response was the following:

I was Trying to Multitask when I was Answering a Few Questions and I Sent the Wrong Answer to the Wrong Person. I Apologize for the Mistake. I Will Not Multitask Again. Do Not Like it and it Gets Very Confusing. Now for a Replacement Engine. The Measurements you Sent are for a Standard Engine (not a Special Application Engine). Most of the 5 to 12 HP Briggs and Stratton, Tecumseh, and Kohler Engines will Bolt Up and Replace the Bad Engine. I will Check on Monday 11/26/07 for a Model Number that you can Use. All my Resources are Closed for the Holidays and I want to be Certain I have the Correct Model Numbers to Give you. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Have a Happy Holiday Season and May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Would greatly appreciate any help you can give me

Answer
Hi John:

The Replacement Engine is a HMSK10. The Old Engine is an HMSK90 with a Specification Number 156522D. Give the Dealer or Whomever you are Going to Purchase the New Engine from the Old Specification Numbers and they can Locate the Proper HMSK10 Engine for you. This Information is Direct from a Tecumseh Power Service Technician. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Have a Happy Holiday Season and May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck
