Couple nice old Briggs

[jeep4me]

I picked up a couple nice old Briggs engines over the last couple days.

First one is a 1962 4hp Briggs in baby blue, probably from a David Bradley implement. Haven't tried to get it running yet, but it popped on ether. This one was FREE. And will be going on the Heathkit Boonie bike I picked up a couple weeks ago.

The other one I just picked out of the scrapyard today. It's a 1967 3hp Briggs in gold. This ones a real beauty. Gas tank is spotless. Missing the breather tube and a piece of linkage. Paid $8.48 for it.:thumbsup: It also popped on ether.
Put it on the Rupp XL250, actually fits nice.

Free was better. Someone have me an old 5hp briggs recently but it was completely shot. Glad you are able to use them

nice scores! I got a '68 3HP in that same blue color at the Oregon Vintage Motorcyclists meet the other day. I had never seen that color before and was wondering what application it might have been on. Probably going on my '68 Taco 22 as it is in pretty good shape.

I'm glad you saved that other engine from the scrappers-it's terrible what good vintage stuff is getting shredded and sent to China as "scrap", ugh...
