Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): sump replacement on 3.5 Briggs, hp briggs, proper manuals


Question
How do you remove the pulley and blade mounting bracket from the shaft on a 3.5 hp Briggs?  The sump is cracked and needs replacing.

Answer
 Hello Lanny:

 The Blade Adapter is Removed Using PB Rust Catalyst, A Puller and Heat. The Pulley is Removed by Removing the Allen Set Screw and then Using Heat and PB Rust Catalyst and a Puller when Neccessary. Sand the Crankshaft and Make Sure it is Really Free of Rust before Trying to Remove the Oil Pan/Sump. Send me the Model Numbers Off the Engine, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manuals and Better Assist you. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
