New briggs question

[dshot59]

Like why is the crank smaller on this 4 hp then a 3 1/5. Not to mention that it only has 3 mounting holes. I figured I would just drill out the last one why not right ? What a pain in the can. Got it off a tiller inside was real clean so what the hey. It's a 2006

I'm thinking you could find others of the same hp with still different crank diameters. Depends on what the cranks were intended to drive, is my guess. Part nos. are a better reference point for different size engines. I wanna say I've seen those 3 hole mounts on tillers I've torn down.

I put one of those 5/8 to 3/4 adapter sleeves on it. Drilled out the 4th bolt hole and off we go.

Would love to see that on the business end of the engine, and the drilled out hole. Got pics?
