I go the 2185, its definitely a Briggs Vanguard 18hp in it. The model number is 134-288-100, serial number is 239223. Its complete but with a rusted out deck. The deck is rusted all along the right front from the middle to the chute.
Its got 4 lug 12" wheels. and 8" front wheels. Does the 2135 and the 2185 use the same transmission?
The original 2135 I picked up is in a lot cleaner shape, I'm thinking of just swapping the larger wheels over to the 2135. I'd put the motor on the shelf and part out the rest of the 2185. I was told its got a bad hydro trans. It moves around fine but I've not put it under any load or run it long enough to really know what's up with it.
Step one will be to take the pressure washer to it, its covered in grass clippings and mud, I can barely see the transmission and the engine is covered in grease and dust. Its showing 339 hours on it.
