I have a Craftsman (Briggs & Straton Engine) model # 917.288890 4.75 horsepower push mower. Today I hit a pipe that was burried in my yard. It bent the blade. I tipped it up on its front wheels to remove the blade. When loostening the bolt, the blade turned, and fluid (i believe it was oil and gas mixed) came out of the engine. Alot came out. What do I need to do? Can I just refill the oil and gas and crank it up? I have no experience working on mowers, but have rebuilt several cars, so if it needs work, I know i can do it, i just need to know what to do. Please help.
About how much would the repairs cost to replace the crankshaft?
Answer
From underneath fluid came out? Then yes you more then likely cracked the sump (this engine is a plain bearing engine.... the crank rides on a thick aluminum bearing milled into the sump)
and more then likely bent the crank...
I will tell you right now.... these little briggs engines are a few things.... they are tough, reliable..... but cheaper to replace then fix when something this catastrophic happens... (your looking at a new crank, new sump) and this engine can be bought new for a couple hundred....
Really depends on the damage..... could tell you pretty much what you can do, if I was looking at it....
Now also..... flipping it up on its front wheels can make it leak oil.... and gas..... from pretty much the gas tank, and the oil could back up through the breather, into the carb, into the combustion chamber on out the exhaust.....

4.4 horse power Honda Lawn Mower Engine also used on Hover Mower, Chipper/Vac, Log Splitter, Pressure Washer. It has been around for years and all the bugs have been worked out of it.
It is a very good small lawn mower engine.
