How to find the serial number on Briggs and Stratton models?
Before you order replacement parts, it’s essential to have your Briggs & Stratton engine’s model and serial number handy. These unique numbers ensure you get the perfect fit for your lawn mower, pressure washer, generator, or other outdoor power equipment.
Briggs and Stratton model and serial number location:
If you need to find your Briggs & Stratton model and serial number, this is how you do it! Follow these easy steps, inspired by the official Briggs & Stratton guide, to quickly locate your serial number:
Step 1: Turn Off and Cool Down Your Equipment
Safety first! Make sure your machine is turned off and completely cooled down. Never search for the serial number while the engine is running or still hot.
Step 2: Identify the Type of Equipment
Briggs & Stratton engines are found on a variety of equipment, such as:
Lawn mowers
Pressure washers
Generators
Snow blowers
Trimmers
Knowing your equipment type will help you find the serial number location faster.
Step 3: Look for the Serial Number Label
The serial number (often called the "engine code") is stamped or printed on an identification label or plate on your engine. Here’s where to look based on different equipment:
For Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers:
Tilt the mower handleback gently (after ensuring it’s safe to do so) and look at the engine housing, directly above the blade or on the engine cover.
For Riding Mowers or Lawn Tractors:
Find the number on the engine cover, near the air filter, or on the engine housing under the seat.
For Pressure Washers and Generators:
Check the metal frame, near the recoil start, or on the engine cover.
Step 4: What Does the Serial Number Look Like?
Briggs & Stratton serial numbers are typically 11 digits long and may look like this: 12345678901
You may also see the serial number, model, and type printed together in a sequence like:
Model: XXXXXXX, Type: XXXX-XX, Code: XXXXXXXX
Step 5: Record Your Number
Write down the serial number exactly as it appears. This ensures accurate replacement part matching when ordering from our store.
