The badge on the back of the deck with the number was pitted and faded, making it hard to read, but I managed to find the mower on the Sears site you suggested. I even found the exploded drawing showing how all the parts go together. It was dated 1976!

Unfortunately, more than three quarters of the parts for this model are no longer available. Once I had the model number of the engine – in this case a Tecumseh – I was able to do some more digging. I ended up at http://www.iowamotorparts.com, where a guy named Ray hooked me up with exactly what I needed.

Turns out the carb just needed cleaned out and the rusty, POS muffler still works fine, but I've got a shiny new muffler to install before I fire this old guy up again (which should be soon).
