Today we'll be looking at a Briggs and Stratton 1227MD snow blower, model: 1696619-02

This snow blower came into the shop needing some replacement parts (drive belt idler return spring, shear bolts and a primer bulb) and I was shocked at how much these parts cost!

These overpriced replacement parts are all OEM, so they're directly from Briggs and Stratton (you can't buy them anywhere else).

These overpriced parts might be one of the main reasons why you may want to think twice before purchasing this snow blower.

In all honesty, this machine is constructed fairly well. It has limited plastic, a dual impeller belt and also a cogged drive belt. However, none of these parts can be purchased aftermarket, they all have to be purchased through Briggs and Stratton.

That means they're the ones setting the price, and if the parts go on backorder, you'll be stuck with a snow blower that may not work.
