click on the "Always use clean oil....." & it takes you to a 22 page pdf that covers a few obviously very old briggs models.
maybe you've already been down this road.... but that is what I found with a quick goog search. All is not lost though as I have a pretty thick set of Briggs Dealer Service Manuals that go back into the late 1960s. I will look & see what I can come up with. IF you have already found what you need please let me know Where & how you found the info so I can look up some of the very old stuff I often run into.... The oldest Briggs I have is on a 1962 Simplicity Snow-Away Snowblower (5HP 22" [runs like a top too & there's a mildly interesting story about it] & it came with the brochure too)
Also found this here ( couresy of

I thiMk something that old is certainly worth posting pictures.
