Title: Are these engines the same?
Post by: MillerTime4242 on February 10, 2021, 07:25:17 AM

I have a 79 drifter and an 81 John deer sportfire.  Drifter engine reads TA440B-B201 and sportfire reads TA440B-C202. Are these engines the same? What does the second series of numbers in the sequences mean? Thanks!

I "think" they are the same.  The C in the second set of numbers I "think" was for John Deere?

 There might be a very small difference in one crank bearing.

They are basically the same engine.
