One thing I did notice as far as the engine goes is the numbers are just stamped on the sheet metal covers so it is still possible that the engine was changed prior to my Mom buying it. I took the side covers off so that I could clean the engine up a bit but couldn't see anything stamped on the block to get any sort of date code. Heading out now to weld the cross brace on the mule drive and install the deck.

I assume your choking it? Sounds like it isn't getting fuel right away, or it's just a bit lean. Maybe I missed it, but did you rebuild the fuel pump? It's possible that one of the little flapper reed valves isn't sealing yet. Give it some time to "work" in.
The numbers for a B&S should be just stamped into the cover.... They always are.
Glad you got it fixed, and you decided to keep it.
