Motor Replacement 12/38 MTD Lawn Tractor

Ok. I know the general concensus regarding everyday store bought tractors are not good. I agree with that quite a bit.

However, I picked up a 12/38 MTD tractor that has been well-maintained until the owner's young son turned the key during an oil change, and I am told it will not start. I will look into the damage when I take the motor out.

I need to find another motor for it, and it is the 284707-0147-1 Briggs and Stratton motor. Now...How in the shades do I find another motor that will interchange with that one. I am totally at a loss. Is there a small engine interchange book? The engine is a 1996 model.

This doesn't need to be complicated, but it sure feels like it.

Any help would be appreciated in locating compatible engines for it.
