1440 Briggs 14hp on the floor..now what?
Guys,
Well I did what Sam and others always suggest.....pull the engine, it's easy and give it a good cleaning and check it over. i pulled it because its a tractor I don't know. I bought it last fall and the engine did start and run as long as I provided gas down the carb. My question is very simple.....now that it's on the floor what should I do with it? I know the basic cleanup but what else? I was surprised to find the engine cooling fins clean and no mouse nests any where. I did notice that the air intake screen over the flywheel was completely caked and plugged. I suspect it's overheated in the past and the old prior owner shut it off and bought a new mower for his wife. He told me it started blowing oil but I see no massive oil spill anywhere on the block. Any suggestion will be appreciated. I plan on removing the fender pan and do the fuel line replace from back to front with a new filter, etc. I've already done all that with my other 1440 so I'm familiar with that but i've never had an engine sitting on the floor before. sorry, the pics didn't look that way on my desktop

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
