While reading about the chapter 11, I learned they are partnered with club car and are going to devote more to "R&D". Sounds like an all battery future like it or lump it or even if it does not make sense.

Some pretty cool tooling for guys with shops.

Yes, though probably most of the machines run on 3 phase 480v. I have skipped a bunch of stuff locally because they ran on 3 phase 240.

Most briggs stuff is made in chi-com now, I live by Milwaukee Wi which was the main location for everything back in the day. that plant at its peak covered dang near a sq mile. Many acquaintances worked there for years. labor unions, epa and poor management led to their demise. Briggs management got hooked on the corprate buying craze back in the 80's-90's, that did not work out well for them.
