I bought a 13HP Briggs and Stratton Engine this week, brand new. Turns out that stamped on the engine it says Made in Japan. I bought this engine new for a project I am working on and I thought well it will be tough to find a used 13-18HP engine that is in good shape, so I will buy a new Briggs engine--besides I will help the economy just a little bit. After receiving the engine on Thursday and seeing the Made in Japan stamp I thought well I am going to give Briggs and Stratton a call. I called them up and the guy says Yep, The vanguard engines are assembled in Japan, The main parts of the engine are made in the USA. Well at least it isnt all from the orient. Here is my question for y'all. I know that we lead the world in passenger car and truck manufacturing, do we lead the world in tractor production, including the lawn tractors? I know that the new holland and JD tractors have a Japanese Diesel engine. Are there any US diesel tractor engine makers that are US, other than JD?
