7hp Briggs in 76
I been asked by a friend to freshen the 7hp Briggs in his model 76 Cub Cadet. The B&S is a model 170700 and in looking at the parts breakdown on the cub site, it shows an IH # of 539837-R91 for the connecting rod. Is this unique to this tractor? Why not a Briggs rod? Before I get in too deep, I'd like to know for sure what is available to overhaul this engine. oversize pistons are available, but the IH connecting rod is NLA of course. The crankshaft is shared with other B&S motors of that series so I guess I could find one if needed. Has anyone had to deal with this con rod issue?
