Briggs And Stratton 108, 111, 112, 114, 116 Parts Catalog – OEM Specs for Compact Tractors

You’ve got a compact tractor from the 108, 111, 112, 114, or 116 series, and something broke. Maybe the PTO clutch won’t engage, or the steering wheel has slack that wasn’t there last season. Before you start guessing part numbers from a generic website or cross-referencing something off a forum—stop. I’ve pulled more misordered parts out of boxes than I care to count. That’s why this Briggs And Stratton 108, 111, 112, 114, 116 Parts Catalog exists. It’s a factory-issued 25-page document with an alphabetical index, page grid coordinates, and part descriptions that match what came on the machine. No third-party interpretation. No “this should fit” nonsense.

Why Does a Parts Catalog Matter More Than a Service Manual?

A service manual tells you how to take something apart. A parts catalog tells you exactly what to put back in. If you’re rebuilding a transaxle on one of these tractors, you need the correct bearing, seal, and snap ring. You don’t need a generic drawing. This catalog covers the 108 (S/N 14065370 and after), the 111 (all), the 112 (all), the 114 (all), and the 116 (S/N 14066900 and after). Each illustration has reference numbers keyed to a parts list with the Briggs & Stratton part number, description, and quantity. That’s how you order the right part the first time. The front index lists major groups alphabetically—Belts and Pulleys, Brakes, Electrical System, Engine Mounts, PTO Clutch, Transaxle, and so on. Each entry has a page number and a grid coordinate, like “Axle, Front – Page 21, Grid B8.” You go to that page, find the grid, and there’s your drawing.

Alphabetical Index and Page Grid System

Flip to the back of the catalog and there’s a numerical index of part numbers with page references. That makes it fast when you already have the old part number from a stamped tag. The grid system uses letters along the top and numbers along the side—just like a map. If you need the steering wheel and gear assembly, the index says Page 19, Grid B6. You turn there, find the B6 square, and you see the whole steering group with every bolt, washer, and bushing listed. No hunting. No squinting at fuzzy reprints. This catalog was printed offset, so the lines are sharp and the part numbers are readable.

Read the Footnotes Before You Order

Every catalog uses codes you need to understand. UAR means “Use as required” for things like gaskets or shims that vary. NSS means “Not sold separately” – you have to buy the assembly. O/L means obtain locally, like a standard bolt or cotter pin. NLA means no longer available, but that’s rare for these common parts. The footnotes are not decoration. If you ignore them, you’ll order a part that can’t be shipped individually. For example, the socket assembly for the rear steering cylinder on page 2 has a part number C56208, but the adjusting plug (C55956) is sold separately only if listed without NSS. Pay attention.

Engine Mounts and PTO Clutch: Two High-Failure Items

Engine mounts on these tractors take a beating. The catalog lists them on Page 7, Grid A8 under “Mounts, Engine.” There’s even an ENGINE MOUNT KIT option if you want all the hardware in one bag. The PTO clutch assembly is on Page 9, Grid A10, and the PTO Clutch Kit on Page 11, Grid A12. If you’re retrofitting a later-model clutch onto an earlier 108, you need that kit’s part number list to verify bolt patterns and shaft sizes. Don’t trust an aftermarket site that says “fits all models.” This catalog shows you the differences. The 116 after S/N 14066900 has a different PTO clutch than the earlier 114. The grid coordinates keep you honest.

25 Pages of Factory-Issued Parts Data

The whole document is 25 pages, but those pages are dense. You get exploded views for the frame, grille, hood, fenders, seat, implement lift, transaxle, travel control, weight box, and wheel weights. There’s a separate section for Decals (pages 41-43), which matters if you’re restoring a tractor or need safety decals for inspection. The Electrical System section runs from page 35 to 39, covering switches, wiring harnesses, and the charging circuit. Every component has a reference number that ties to a part description. This is the same data Briggs & Stratton used at the factory assembly line. It’s not a photocopy of a photocopy.

Who Needs This Catalog and How to Use It

If you own one of these tractors and do your own repairs, you need this. Whether you’re a hobby farmer or a home-garage mechanic with a 112 that needs a new front axle, the catalog saves hours of cross-referencing. Start by locating your tractor’s model and serial number – the catalog tells you where to find them (page 2, General Information). Then look up the assembly group in the alphabetical index. Write down the page and grid. Open to that page, find the grid box, and read the reference numbers. Cross-check the part number in the numerical index to make sure you’re not ordering an obsolete superseded part. The back index lists every part number with the page it appears on. That’s your double-check.

For professionals like me, this catalog stays on the workbench next to the service manual. I don’t care how long you’ve been turning wrenches – guessing a seal size on a 1980s transaxle costs you a comeback. The OEM part number is the only number that guarantees fit. This catalog covers the 108, 111, 112, 114, and 116 models with the exact part numbers from Briggs & Stratton. No aftermarket catalog tries to map a generic bearing to a tractor that was built in Wisconsin in the 1980s. Rack and Pinion steering systems on these tractors are simple, but the gear box uses a specific worm gear. This catalog lists it.

I’ve seen guys bolt on a steering wheel from a parts-store universal kit only to have the splines strip out. The parts list on page 19 tells you exactly which steering wheel part number fits the 114 vs the 116. Same for the brake assembly – pages 23-29 have the brake disc, pads, and actuating lever with OEM numbers. If you’re doing a brake job on a 108, don’t buy the “equivalent” from an auto parts chain. Get the factory part. That’s what this catalog is for.

If you have a 108, 111, 112, 114, or 116 compact tractor and you’re tired of chasing wrong parts, this is the fix. The Briggs And Stratton 108, 111, 112, 114, 116 Parts Catalog gives you the same information a dealership parts counter uses. ISO Quality Standards for threaded fasteners? The catalog uses standard SAE hardware – no metric surprises. You can order with confidence because the part numbers are verified against the original factory drawings. Access the Factory Manual and start getting the right parts on the first trip to the parts store.
