I blew a cylinder head on a Briggs and Stratton 35hp Vanguard motor. Anyone know where I can get a new one ? Part #84006467. My local dealer and Briggs and Stratton have no answers. Distribution center tried to blame it on Ukraine? Machine has been down since mid January. (Carlton 4012) stump grinder. Looking for someone who may know where there is possible new old stock sitting around. Thanks all for any leads.

What is wrong with the head? Did the engine overheat? Unless it is cracked I'd probably look at rebuilding it but that's just me. Assuming it's still straight of course.
Those engines have a pretty sound architecture unless it has a ton of hours on it they don't normally eat themselves for no reason.

Briggs doesn't have it?

I have tried everything on the internet, plus all local stores. Briggs and Stratton are no help and can’t even give an eta. I will never buy another Briggs and Stratton. Everything is on back order. Any help? Any one have NOS anywhere? Thanks!
It isn't showing if it is or is not in stock

Did you try the link I provided above, a month ago? Its still showing in stock. I went as far as I could without entering CC info. Shipping to my zip was quoted at $10 and 2-5 days.
In all the years of owning Vangaurd engines I've never had a problem sourcing parts. They are a very common engine - I would be shocked if what you are looking for isn't available.
That's wild! Sorry to hear that.
I just checked with local dealer around my area. No luck. Guy said briggs parts are hard to come by right now. I will say that if I buy anything gas powered, it won't have a briggs on it. Equipment is no good if you can't get parts for it.
What exactly is wrong with your cylinder head? Valves and springs maybe available to rebuild your head? A machine shop to plane the sealing surface?
And because they can't slap a head on it they're sitting on their hands....that's a crappy deal. Have you tried calling the manufacturer? Maybe another dealer in your area?
If it were my rig I'd be wanting to know exactly what failed. Did a valve come loose and smack a piston? Or did it simply pop a head gasket and could be remedied by an hour or 3 at a machine shop and a new gasket and the dealer is just not competent.....
One thing I've learned is there are some good dealers out there and there are some real lazy ones. Sometimes you just gotta make enough noise to get it pushed up the ladder. Good luck.
