In fact, the B&S Quantum motor is so ubiquitous, we order those slightly rectangular air filters, 491588S, in boxes roughly the same size as a U-Haul size large.

I used to work at Briggs. They package up 50,000 of those filters a month in the summer. If you order them in a 5 pack (4101) thats one of the parts I did.

The engines that came through the warranty department were hilarious. 9 times out of 10 there was no oil in the motor and the customer wondered why the connecting rod turned into powder.

The GMT800 GM trucks (Tahoe, Escalade, Suburban, etc) have a factory bottle jack (and some crappy wheel chocks) as standard equipment as well. Never had to use them so I can't speak to how well they work (probably not very).



They work fine, I lifted a good size boat with one.

It actually seemed to be gear driven, you put those 3 rods into a key-way (that yellow piece on the jack) and crank it with the tire iron. The main problem is those 3 rods are stored under the truck and are probably pretty rusty by the time you need them if you live in the salt belt.
