Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: [Abstract]	'
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
	Fiscal Year: The Company’s fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks, ending on the Sunday nearest the last day of June in each year. The 2014, 2013 and 2012 fiscal years were each 52 weeks long. All references to years relate to fiscal years rather than calendar years.
	Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Investments in companies for which we have significant influence are accounted for by the equity method.
	Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents: This caption includes cash, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Receivables: Receivables are recorded at their original carrying value less reserves for estimated uncollectible accounts.
	Inventories: Inventories are stated at cost, which does not exceed market. The last-in, first-out (LIFO) method was used for determining the cost of approximately 51% of total inventories at June 29, 2014 and 48% at June 30, 2013. The cost for the remaining inventories was determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. If the FIFO inventory valuation method had been used exclusively, inventories would have been $64.5 million and $62.1 million higher in fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. The LIFO inventory adjustment was determined on an overall basis, and accordingly, each class of inventory reflects an allocation based on the FIFO amounts.
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill reflects the cost of acquisitions in excess of the fair values assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units based upon the expected benefit of the synergies of the acquisition. The reporting units are Engines and Products. Other Intangible Assets reflect identifiable intangible assets that arose from purchase acquisitions. Other Intangible Assets are comprised of tradenames, patents and customer relationships. Goodwill and tradenames, which are considered to have indefinite lives, are not amortized; however, both must be tested for impairment at least annually. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis for other intangible assets with finite lives. Patents have been assigned an estimated weighted average useful life of 13 years. The customer relationships have been assigned an estimated useful life of 14 to 25 years. The Company is subject to financial statement risk in the event that goodwill and intangible assets become impaired.
	The Company performed the required impairment tests in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012. The Company recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges and non-cash intangible asset impairment charges in fiscal 2014 and 2013. There were no goodwill impairment charges or intangible asset impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2012. Refer to Note 7 for a discussion of the non-cash goodwill impairment charges and the non-cash intangible asset impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2014 and 2013.
	Investments: This caption represents the Company’s investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies. Combined financial information of the unconsolidated affiliated companies accounted for by the equity method, generally on a lag of 3 months or less, was as follows (in thousands):
	Results of operations of unconsolidated affiliated companies for the fiscal year (in thousands):

	Gross Profit	$	26,849		$	20,608		$	25,809
	Net Income	$	13,653		$	8,057		$	9,751
	Balance sheets of unconsolidated affiliated companies as of fiscal year-end (in thousands):
		2014			2013
	Financial Position:
	Assets:
	Current Assets	$	76,811		$	45,355

	Current Liabilities	$	22,990		$	12,989
	Noncurrent Liabilities	1,779			2,900
		24,769			15,889
	Equity	$	80,148		$	44,993
	Net sales to equity method investees were approximately $18.7 million, $1.0 million and $1.8 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Purchases of finished products from equity method investees were approximately $102.4 million, $107.0 million and $119.6 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company joined with one of its independent distributors to form a venture to distribute service parts. The Company contributed non-cash assets in exchange for receiving an ownership interest in the venture. As a result of the transaction, the Company recorded an investment of $6.5 million. The Company uses the equity method to account for this investment. Subsequent to fiscal 2014, a second independent distributor joined the venture.
	Debt Issuance Costs: Direct and incremental costs incurred in obtaining loans or in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related credit agreements. Approximately $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.2 million of debt issuance costs and original issue discounts were amortized to interest expense during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Plant and Equipment and Depreciation: Plant and equipment are stated at historical cost. For financial reporting purposes, plant and equipment are depreciated primarily by the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which generally range from 3 to 10 years for software, from 20 to 40 years for land improvements, from 20 to 50 years for buildings, and 3 to 20 years for machinery and equipment. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which significantly extend the useful lives of existing plant and equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of plant and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in cost of goods sold.
	Depreciation expense was approximately $47.2 million, $52.3 million and $60.3 million during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets. Refer to Note 18 for impairments associated with restructuring actions.
	Warranty: The Company recognizes the cost associated with its standard warranty on engines and products at the time of sale. The general warranty period begins at the time of sale and typically covers two years, but may vary due to product type and geographic location. The amount recognized is based on historical failure rates and current claim cost experience. The following is a reconciliation of the changes in accrued warranty costs for the reporting period (in thousands):
		2014			2013
	Balance, Beginning of Period	$	45,037		$	46,012
	Payments	(28,377		)	(26,173		)
	Provision for Current Year Warranties	29,087			26,438
	Changes in Estimates	(1,003		)	(1,240		)
	Balance, End of Period	$	44,744		$	45,037
	Revenue Recognition: Net sales include sales of engines, products, and related service parts and accessories, net of allowances for cash discounts, customer volume rebates and discounts, floor plan interest and advertising allowances. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. This is generally upon shipment, except for certain international shipments, where revenue is recognized when the customer receives the product.
	Included in net sales are costs associated with programs under which the Company shares the expense of financing certain dealer and distributor inventories, referred to as floor plan expense. This represents interest for a pre-established length of time based on a variable rate from a contract with a third party financing source for dealer and distributor inventory purchases. Sharing the cost of these financing arrangements is used by Briggs & Stratton as a marketing incentive for customers to buy inventory. The financing costs included in net sales in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $5.5 million, $6.3 million and $5.5 million, respectively.
	The Company also offers a variety of customer rebates and sales incentives. The Company records estimates for rebates and incentives at the time of sale, as a reduction in net sales.
	Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes includes federal, state and foreign income taxes currently payable and those deferred because of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The deferred income tax asset represents temporary differences relating to current assets and current liabilities, and the long-term deferred income tax asset represents temporary differences related to noncurrent assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.
	Retirement Plans: The Company has noncontributory, defined benefit retirement plans and postretirement benefit plans covering certain employees. Retirement benefits represent a form of deferred compensation, which are subject to change due to changes in assumptions. Management reviews underlying assumptions on an annual basis. Refer to Note 17.
	Research and Development Costs: Expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes, including significant improvements and refinements to existing products, are expensed as incurred and recorded in engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amounts charged against income were $19.7 million, $18.5 million and $19.8 million in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Advertising Costs: Advertising costs, included in Engineering, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, are expensed as incurred. These expenses totaled $18.5 million in fiscal 2014, $17.7 million in fiscal 2013 and $22.3 million in fiscal 2012.
	Shipping and Handling Fees: Revenue received from shipping and handling fees is reflected in net sales and related shipping costs are recorded in cost of goods sold. Shipping fee revenue for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $4.4 million, $4.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively.
	Foreign Currency Translation: Foreign currency balance sheet accounts are translated into dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at fiscal year-end. Income and expenses incurred in a foreign currency are translated at the average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The related translation adjustments are made directly to a separate component of Shareholders’ Investment. During fiscal 2013, the Company recorded a charge of $4.2 million of foreign currency translation primarily recognized in connection with the substantial liquidation of the Company's investment in the Ostrava, Czech Republic entity, which was related to previously announced restructuring actions. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the results of operations in the period incurred. The Company recorded pre-tax foreign currency transaction losses of $3.9 million and $4.1 million during fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Earnings (Loss) Per Share: The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s unvested grants of restricted stock and deferred stock awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends (whether paid or unpaid), which are required to be treated as participating securities and included in the computation of basic earnings per share.
	Information on earnings (loss) per share is as follows (in thousands except per share data):
		Fiscal Year Ended

	Average Shares of Common Stock Outstanding	46,366			47,172			48,965
	Incremental Common Shares Applicable to Common Stock Options and Performance Shares Based on the Common Stock Average Market Price During the Period	70			—			—
	Incremental Common Shares Applicable to Deferred and Restricted Common Stock Based on the Common Stock Average Market Price During the Period	—			—			944
	Diluted Average Shares of Common Stock Outstanding	46,436			47,172			49,909

Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share	$	0.59		$	(0.73	)	$	0.57
The dilutive effect of the potential exercise of outstanding stock-based awards to acquire common shares is calculated using the treasury stock method. The following options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares, and their inclusion in the computation would be antidilutive:
	Fiscal Year Ended
	June 29, 2014			June 30, 2013			July 1, 2012
Options to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (in thousands)	916			1,590			3,679
Weighted Average Exercise Price of Options Excluded	$	29.62		$	34.13		$	27.71
As a result of the Company incurring a net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, potential incremental common shares of 1,126,000 were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Derivative Instruments & Hedging Activity: The Company enters into derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage certain interest rate, foreign currency and commodity exposures. Company policy allows derivatives to be used only for identifiable exposures and, therefore, the Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits.
The Company formally designates the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure and documents both the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge. The Company formally assesses, both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in the forecasted cash flows of the related underlying exposure. Because of the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the forecasted cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. Derivative financial instruments are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. The effective portion of gains or losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.
The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, the cash flow hedge is dedesignated because a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring, or management determines to remove the designation of the cash flow hedge.
In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognizes any subsequent changes in its fair value in earnings. When it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and recognizes immediately in earnings gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income related to the hedging relationship.

Prospective Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]	'
New Accounting Pronouncements	'
	New Accounting Pronouncements:
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, under either full or modified retrospective adoption. Early application is not permitted. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of this new accounting pronouncement on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flow.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which requires an entity to present significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2012 with earlier adoption permitted. The amendments in the ASU are applied prospectively. The Company adopted ASU No. 2013-02 at the beginning of fiscal 2014, and the required new disclosures are presented in Note 4. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow, as the ASU solely relates to disclosures.
	In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment," which permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired before performing quantitative impairment testing. The amendments did not change the measurement of impairment losses. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2012-02 at the beginning of fiscal 2014. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

Acquisitions	'
	Acquisitions:
	On December 7, 2012, Briggs & Stratton Representação de Motores e Produtos de Força do Brasil Ltda., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the common stock of Companhia Caetano Branco (“Branco”) of Sao Jose dos Pinhais, Brazil for a total cash consideration of $59.6 million, net of cash acquired. Branco is a leading brand in the Brazilian light power equipment market with a broad range of outdoor power equipment used primarily in light commercial applications. Its products, including generators, water pumps, light construction equipment and diesel engines, are sold through its independent network of over 1,200 dealers throughout Brazil. The Company recorded a purchase price allocation during fiscal 2013 based on a fair value appraisal by a third party valuation firm. At June 30, 2013, the purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $15.3 million of goodwill, of which $4.6 million and $10.7 million were allocated to the Engines segment and Products segment, respectively, and $24.0 million of intangible assets, including $14.6 million of customer relationships and $9.4 million of tradenames.
	The results of operations of Branco have been included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations since the date of acquisition. Pro forma financial information and allocation of the purchase price are not presented as the effects of the acquisition are not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.
	On August 14, 2014, the Company announced that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Allmand Bros., Inc. for approximately $62.0 million in cash, subject to customary due diligence and working capital adjustments. Founded in 1938 and based in Holdrege, Nebraska, Allmand is a leading designer and manufacturer of high quality towable light towers, industrial heaters and solar LED arrow boards. This transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Fair Value	'
	Fair Value:
	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value:
	The following guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
	Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
	Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
	Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
	The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 (in thousands):
				Fair Value Measurement Using

	Liabilities:
	Derivatives	$	5,413	$	—	$	5,413	$	—
	The fair value for Level 2 measurements are based upon the respective quoted market prices for comparable instruments in active markets, which include current market pricing for forward purchases of commodities, foreign currency forwards, and current interest rates.
	The Company has currently chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
	The Company believes that the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and foreign lines of credit are reasonable estimates of their fair values at June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The estimated fair value of the 6.875% Senior Notes due December 2020 is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and is, therefore, classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	'
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:
	Goodwill reflects the cost of acquisitions in excess of the fair values assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units based upon the expected benefit of the synergies of the acquisition. The reporting units are Engines and Products.
	The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the fiscal years ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):
			Engines			Products			Total
	Goodwill Balance at July 1, 2012		$	137,359		$	67,405		$	204,764

	Goodwill Balance at June 29, 2014		$	141,062		$	3,460		$	144,522
	At June 29, 2014, June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2012, accumulated goodwill impairment losses, as recorded in the Products segment, were $123.7 million, $120.8 million and $49.5 million respectively.
	The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually as of the fiscal year-end or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. Goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is to compare the carrying values of each of the Company's reporting units to their estimated fair values as of the test dates. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed, which compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount is in excess of the implied fair value, goodwill is considered to be impaired. The estimates of fair value of the reporting units are computed using an income approach. The income approach utilizes a multi-year forecast of estimated cash flows and a terminal value at the end of the cash flow period. The forecast period assumptions consist of internal projections that are based on the Company's budget and long-range strategic plan. The discount rate used at the test date is the weighted-average cost of capital which reflects the overall level of inherent risk of the reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn. The fair value of goodwill is considered a non-recurring level 3 fair value measurement in accordance with ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement.
	In fiscal 2013, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $71.3 million, which was determined by comparing the carrying value of the Products reporting unit goodwill with the implied fair value of goodwill for the reporting unit. Based on a combination of factors, predominantly driven by a slower than anticipated recovery of the North American lawn and garden market at that time and the operating results of the Products segment during the previous years leading up to the impairments which lacked the benefit of certain weather related events that would have been favorable to the business, the Company’s forecasted cash flow estimates used in the goodwill assessment as of June 30, 2013 were adversely impacted. As a result, the Company concluded that the carrying value amounts of the Products reporting unit exceeded its fair value as of June 30, 2013. The impairment charge was a non-cash expense that was recorded as a separate component of operating expenses. The impairment charge did not adversely affect the Company’s debt position, cash flow, liquidity or compliance with financial covenants under its revolving credit facility.
	The Company’s other intangible assets as of June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):

	The Company also performs an impairment test of its indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the fiscal year-end or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. For purposes of the indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analysis, the Company performs its assessment of fair value based on an income approach using the relief-from-royalty method. The Company determines the fair value of each tradename by applying a royalty rate to a projection of net sales discounted using a risk adjusted cost of capital. Sales growth rates are determined after considering current and future economic conditions, recent sales trends, discussions with customers, planned timing of new product launches and many other variables. Each royalty rate is based on profitability of the business to which it relates and observed market royalty rates. The fair value of indefinite-lived intangibles is considered a non-recurring level 3 fair value measurement in accordance with ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement.
	In fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, the non-cash intangible asset impairment charge recorded was $5.5 million and $18.8 million, respectively. Based on a combination of factors, predominantly driven by a slower than anticipated recovery of the North American lawn and garden market at that time, the Company’s forecasted cash flow estimates used in the other intangible assets assessment as of June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 were adversely impacted. As a result, the Company concluded that the carrying value of a tradename within the Products reporting unit exceeded its fair value as of June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013. The impairment charges did not adversely affect the Company’s debt position, cash flow, liquidity or compliance with financial covenants under its revolving credit facility. In fiscal 2012, the Company determined that no intangible asset impairment existed.
	Amortization expense of other intangible assets amounted to approximately $2.2 million in 2014, $2.5 million in 2013, and $1.9 million in 2012.
	The estimated amortization expense of other intangible assets for the next five years is (in thousands):

	Miscellaneous		(98		)		6,290
	Deferred Income Tax Asset (Liability)		$	15,178			$	27,544
	Deferred tax assets were generated during the current year as a result of foreign income tax loss carryforwards in the amount of $2.7 million. At June 29, 2014, there are $3.7 million of foreign income tax loss carryforwards, consisting of $1.9 million which have no expiration date, and $1.8 million which will expire within the next 5 to 10 years. A deferred tax asset of $16.5 million exists at June 29, 2014 related to state income tax losses and state tax credit carryforwards. If not utilized against future taxable income, this amount will expire from 2015 through 2028. Realization of the deferred tax assets are contingent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of these carryforwards. At June 29, 2014, a valuation allowance of $2.9 million is recorded for the foreign losses which the Company believes are unlikely to be realized in the future. In addition, a valuation allowance of $12.3 million is recorded related to state tax credits that are unlikely to be realized.
	The Company does not record deferred income taxes applicable to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which the Company intends to reinvest such earnings indefinitely outside of the U.S. The undistributed earnings amounted to approximately $65.9 million at June 29, 2014. If the Company were to distribute these earnings, foreign tax credits may become available under current law to reduce the resulting U.S. income tax. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.
	The change to the gross unrecognized tax benefits of the Company during the fiscal year ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 is reconciled as follows:
	Unrecognized Tax Benefits (in thousands):
		2014				2013				2012
	Beginning Balance	$	6,949			$	6,717			12,040
	Changes based on tax positions related to prior year	380				—				—
	Additions based on tax positions related to current year	378				997				429
	Settlements with taxing authorities	—				(39		)		(516		)
	Lapse of statute of limitations	(50		)		(726		)		(5,236		)
Ending Balance	$	7,657			$	6,949			$	6,717
As of June 29, 2014, gross unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate were $6.5 million. Of that amount, there is a reasonable possibility that approximately $2.8 million of the current remaining unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized within the next twelve months due to the resolution of audits or expiration of statutes of limitations.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The total expense (income) recognized for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $0.1 million, $0.2 million, and $(1.0) million, respectively.
As of June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the Company had $1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, accrued for the payment of interest and penalties.
At June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the liability for uncertain tax positions, inclusive of interest and penalties, was $8.8 million and $7.9 million, respectively, which is recorded as an other long-term liability within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Income tax returns are filed in the U.S., state, and foreign jurisdictions and related audits occur on a regular basis. In the U.S., the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations before fiscal 2010 and is currently under audit by various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to tax examinations before fiscal 2004 in its major foreign jurisdictions.

	Total Long-Term Debt	$	225,000		$	225,000
	6.875% Senior Notes
	On December 15, 2010, the Company issued $225 million of 6.875% Senior Notes due December 15, 2020 ("Senior Notes"). The net proceeds of the offering were primarily used to redeem the then outstanding principal of the 8.875% Senior Notes due March 15, 2011. In connection with the refinancing and the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company incurred approximately $5.0 million in new debt issuance costs, which are being amortized over the life of the Senior Notes using the effective interest method. These amounts are included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Additionally, under the terms of the indentures and credit agreements governing the Senior Notes, Briggs & Stratton Power Products Group, LLC became a joint and several guarantor of amounts outstanding under the Senior Notes. Refer to Note 20 for subsidiary guarantor financial information.
	Multicurrency Credit Agreement
	On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into a $500 million multicurrency credit agreement (the “Revolver”). The Revolver had a term of five years and all outstanding borrowings on the Revolver were due and payable on October 13, 2016. On October 21, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to the Revolver, which, among other things, extended the maturity of the Revolver from October 13, 2016 to October 21, 2018. The initial maximum availability under the Revolver is $500 million. Availability under the Revolver is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. The Company may from time to time increase the maximum availability under the Revolver by up to $250 million if certain conditions are satisfied. In connection with the refinancing and the issuance of the Revolver in fiscal 2012, the Company incurred approximately $2.0 million  in new debt issuance costs, which are being amortized over the life of the Revolver using the straight-line method. In connection with the amendment to the Revolver in fiscal 2014, the Company incurred approximately $0.9 million in new debt issuance costs, which are being amortized over the life of the Revolver using the straight-line method. There were no borrowings under the Revolver as of June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013.
	Borrowings under the Revolver by the Company bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at its option, either:
	(1) a 1, 2, 3 or 6 month LIBOR rate plus a margin varying from 1.25% to 2.25%, depending on the Company’s average net leverage ratio; or
	(2) the higher of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%; (b) the bank's prime rate; or (c) the Eurocurrency rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%. In addition, the Company is subject to a 0.18% to 0.38% commitment fee and a 1.25% to 2.25% letter of credit fee, depending on the Company’s average net leverage ratio.
	The Revolver contains covenants that the Company considers usual and customary for an agreement of this type, including a maximum average leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are required to be guarantors of the Company’s obligations under the Revolver.
	The Revolver and the Senior Notes contain restrictive covenants. These covenants include restrictions on the Company’s ability to: pay dividends; repurchase shares; incur indebtedness; create liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; consolidate or merge with other entities; sell or lease all or substantially all of its assets; and dispose of assets or use proceeds from sales of its assets. The Revolver contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and impose a maximum average leverage ratio.
	Foreign Lines of Credit
	The lines of credit available to the Company in foreign countries are in connection with short-term borrowings and bank overdrafts used in the normal course of business. These amounts totaled $4.0 million at June 29, 2014, and expire at various times throughout fiscal 2015 and beyond and are renewable. None of these arrangements had material commitment fees or compensating balance requirements. Borrowings using these lines of credit were included in short-term debt.

Commitments and Contingencies	'
	Commitments and Contingencies:
	The Company is subject to various unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of its business. These actions typically relate to product liability (including asbestos-related liability), patent and trademark matters, and disputes with customers, suppliers, distributors and dealers, competitors and employees.
	On March 19, 2010, plaintiffs filed a complaint in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Canada (Robert Foster et al. v. Sears Canada, Inc. et al., Court File No. 766-2010) against the Company and other engine and lawnmower manufacturers alleging that the horsepower labels on the products they purchased were inaccurate and that the Company conspired with other engine and lawnmower manufacturers to conceal the true horsepower of these engines. On May 3, 2010, other plaintiffs filed a similar complaint in the Montreal Superior Court in Canada (Eric Liverman, et al. v. Deere & Company, et al., Court File No. 500-06-000507-109). Both proceedings were based on various theories of Canadian law and sought unspecified damages. On June 27, 2013, the Company entered into a Canadian Lawnmower Class Action National Settlement Agreement (“Settlement”) that resolved all horsepower claims brought by all persons in Canada who purchased lawn mowers in Canada during the class period (defined as January 1, 1994 through December 31, 2012), except certain specified persons. The Settlement was approved by the Ontario Court and the Quebec Court in September 2013, and all payments required by the Company have been made. As a result of the Settlement, the Company recorded a total charge of US $1.9 million as a litigation settlement expense on the Statement of Operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013.
	On May 14, 2010, the Company notified retirees and certain retirement eligible employees of various amendments to the Company-sponsored retiree medical plans intended to better align the plans offered to both hourly and salaried retirees. On August 16, 2010, a putative class of retirees who retired prior to August 1, 2006 and the United Steel Workers filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (Merrill, Weber, Carpenter, et al.; United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO/CLC v. Briggs & Stratton Corporation; Group Insurance Plan of Briggs & Stratton Corporation; and Does 1 through 20, Docket No. 10-C-0700), contesting the Company's right to make these changes. The complaint seeks an injunction preventing the alleged unilateral termination or reduction in insurance coverage to the class of retirees, a permanent injunction preventing defendants from ever making changes to the retirees' insurance coverage, restitution with interest (if applicable) and attorneys' fees and costs. A class has been certified, and discovery has been concluded. Briefing on the Company’s and the retirees' summary judgment motions will occur soon. If the court denies the motions, a jury trial will be scheduled.
	Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible loss, the Company believes the unresolved legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Share-based Compensation, Allocation and Classification in Financial Statements [Abstract]	'
Stock Incentives	'
	Stock Incentives:
	The Company previously adopted an Incentive Compensation Plan, effective October 20, 2004, under which 4,000,000 shares of common stock (8,000,000 shares as a result of the fiscal 2005 2-for-1 stock split) were reserved for future issuance. An amendment to the Incentive Compensation Plan approved by shareholders on October 21, 2009, added 2,481,494 shares to the shares available for grant under the plan. Prior to October 20, 2004, the Company had a Stock Incentive Plan under which 5,361,935 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance. The adoption of the Incentive Compensation Plan reduced the number of shares available for future issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan to zero. However, as of June 29, 2014, there were 508,260 outstanding option awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan that are or may become exercisable in the future. In accordance with the plans, the Company can issue eligible employees stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, performance shares and cash bonus awards subject to certain annual limitations. The plans also allow the Company to issue directors non-qualified stock options and directors’ fees in stock. Stock based compensation vests in accordance with the Plan but can become immediately exercisable upon eligible recipients' departure from the Company or upon reaching retirement age, subject to approval of the Compensation Committee.
	Stock based compensation expense is calculated by estimating the fair value of incentive stock awards granted and amortizing the estimated value over the awards’ vesting periods. During fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized stock based compensation expense of approximately $7.2 million, $6.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively.
	On the grant date, the exercise price of each stock option issued exceeds the market value of the stock by 10%. The fair value of each option is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the assumptions are based on historical data and standard industry valuation practices and methodology. The assumptions used to determine fair value are as follows:
	Options Granted During	2014				2013				2012
	Grant Date Fair Value	$	5.19			$	4.83			$	3.96
	(Since options are only granted once per year, the grant date fair value equals the weighted average grant date fair value.)

	As of June 29, 2014, there was $7.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. The total fair value of shares vested during fiscal 2014 and 2013 was $4.1 million and $5.8 million, respectively.
	Under the plans, the Company has issued restricted stock to certain employees. During fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company issued 146,320, 134,830 and 111,890 shares, respectively. The restricted stock vests on the fifth anniversary date of the grant provided the recipient is still employed by the Company. The aggregate market value on the date of issue was approximately $2.8 million, $2.5 million and $1.7 million in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and has been recorded within the Shareholders’ Investment section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and is being amortized over the five-year vesting period.
	Under the plans, the Company may also issue deferred stock to its directors in lieu of directors fees. The Company issued 35,433, 38,888 and 44,127 shares in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, under this provision of the plans.
	Under the plans, the Company may also issue deferred stock to its officers and key employees. The Company issued 29,120, 43,499 and 38,250 shares in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, under this provision. The aggregate market value on the date of grant was approximately $0.6 million, $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Expense is recognized ratably over the five-year vesting period.
	Under the plans, the Company issued performance shares to its officers and key employees. The Company issued 128,371, 121,230, and 127,940 performance shares under this provision in fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. A maximum of two shares of Briggs & Stratton common stock per performance share may be awarded to recipients if certain performance targets are met at the end of the vesting period. The aggregate market value on the date of issue was approximately $2.5 million, $2.4 million, and $2.2 million using the Monte Carlo simulation methodology of valuation in fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Expense is recognized ratably over the three-year vesting period. The Monte-Carlo valuation model simulates a range of possible future stock prices for the Company and the components of a peer group to estimate the probability that a vesting condition will be achieved. In determining valuation assumptions for the Monte Carlo model, we consider historic and observable market data. Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo valuation model include the following:
	Performance Shares Granted During	2014			2013			2012
	Assumptions:
	Risk-free Interest Rate	0.7	%		0.4	%		0.3	%

Shareholder Rights Agreement	'
Shareholder Rights Agreement	'
	Shareholder Rights Agreement:
	On August 6, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of one common stock purchase right (a right) for each share of the Company's common stock outstanding on August 19, 1996. Each right would entitle shareowners to buy one-half of one share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $80.00 per full common share (equivalent to $40.00 for each one-half of one share of common stock), subject to adjustment. Pursuant to the rights agreement, in order for the rights to become exercisable, a person or group must acquire or attempt to acquire 20 percent or more of the Company's outstanding shares. Shareholders may vote to redeem the rights in certain circumstances, and the rights may be redeemed at a redemption price of $0.001 per right. On August 8, 2012, the Board of Directors amended the rights agreement to extend its term until October 21, 2015, subject to shareholder ratification; shareholders ratified the rights agreement at the Company's annual meeting on October 17, 2012.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	Derivative Instruments & Hedging Activities:
	The Company enters into interest rate swaps to manage a portion of its interest rate risk from financing certain dealer and distributor inventories through a third party financing source. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and are used to effectively fix the interest payments to a third party financing source, exclusive of lender spreads, ranging from 1.17% to 1.60% for a notional principal amount of $95 million with expiration dates ranging from July 2017 to May 2019.
	The Company periodically enters into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge the risk from forecasted third party and intercompany sales or payments denominated in foreign currencies. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Australian Dollars, Mexican Pesos, Canadian Dollars or Japanese Yen. These contracts generally do not have a maturity of more than twenty-four months.
	The Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. The Company hedges a portion of its exposure to the variability of cash flows associated with commodities used in the manufacturing process by entering into forward purchase contracts or commodity swaps. Derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges are used by the Company to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of natural gas and aluminum. These contracts generally do not have a maturity of more than twenty-four months.
	The Company has considered the counterparty credit risk related to all its foreign currency and commodity derivative contracts and does not deem any counterparty credit risk material at this time.
	The notional amount of derivative contracts outstanding at the end of the period is indicative of the level of the Company’s derivative activity during the period. As of June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the Company had the following outstanding derivative contracts (in thousands):

	The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge purchases and sales that are denominated in foreign currencies. The terms of these currency derivatives do not exceed twenty-four months, and the purpose is to protect the Company from the risk that the eventual dollars being transferred will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates.
	The Company has forward foreign exchange contracts to sell foreign currency, with the Euro as the most significant. These contracts are used to hedge foreign currency collections on sales of inventory. The Company also has forward contracts to purchase foreign currencies. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are carried at fair value based on current exchange rates.

The “Other Postretirement Benefit” plans are unfunded.
On May 14, 2010, the Company notified retirees and certain retirement eligible employees of various amendments to the Company-sponsored retiree medical plans intended to better align the plans offered to both hourly and salaried retirees. On August 16, 2010, a putative class of retirees who retired prior to August 1, 2006 and the United Steel Workers filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (Merrill, Weber, Carpenter, et al.; United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO/CLC v. Briggs & Stratton Corporation; Group Insurance Plan of Briggs & Stratton Corporation; and Does 1 through 20, Docket No. 10-C-0700) contesting the Company's right to make these changes. The complaint seeks an injunction preventing the alleged unilateral termination or reduction in insurance coverage to the class of retirees, a permanent injunction preventing defendants from ever making changes to the retirees' insurance coverage, restitution with interest (if applicable) and attorneys' fees and costs. A class has been certified, and discovery has been concluded. Briefing on the Company’s and the retirees’ summary judgment motions will occur soon. If the court denies the motions, a jury trial will be scheduled.
For measurement purposes an 7.8% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care claims was assumed for the Company for the fiscal year 2014 decreasing gradually to 4.5% for the fiscal year 2028. The health care cost trend rate assumptions have a significant effect on the amounts reported. An increase of one percentage point, would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit by $1.9 million and would increase the service and interest cost by $0.1 million for fiscal 2014. A corresponding decrease of one percentage point, would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit by $2.1 million and decrease the service and interest cost by $0.1 million for the fiscal year 2014.
In October 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an amendment to the Company's defined benefit retirement plans for U.S., non-bargaining employees. The amendment freezes accruals for all non-bargaining employees within the pension plan effective January 1, 2014. The Company recorded a pre-tax curtailment charge of $1.9 million in fiscal 2013 related to the defined benefit plan change.
As discussed in Note 18, the Company reduced its salaried headcount by approximately 10% in fiscal 2012. The termination of the employees associated with this restructuring action, and the related impact on unrecognized prior service costs, unrecognized losses and the projected benefit obligation resulted in a net curtailment loss of $0.7 million in fiscal 2012.
In fiscal 2012, as a result of the non-discrimination testing results of the qualified pension plan, approximately 90 employees were moved to the non-qualified pension plan. Benefits accrued prior to July 1, 2012 were unaffected; only benefits accruing for those affected employees after July 1, 2012 are being covered by the non-qualified plan.
Plan Assets
A Board of Directors appointed Investment Committee (“Committee”) manages the investment of the pension plan assets. The Committee has established and operates under an Investment Policy. It determines the asset allocation and target ranges based upon periodic asset/liability studies and capital market projections. The Committee retains external investment managers to invest the assets. The Investment Policy prohibits certain investment transactions, such as lettered stock, commodity contracts, margin transactions and short selling, unless the Committee gives prior approval. The Company’s pension plan’s current target and asset allocations at June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, by asset category are as follows:
				Plan Assets at Year-end
Asset Category		Target %		2014		2013
Domestic Equities		17%-25%		20%		22%
International Equities		5%-15%		10%		10%
Alternative & Absolute Return		10%-20%		16%		26%
Fixed Income		45%-55%		52%		39%
Cash Equivalents		1%		2%		3%
				100%		100%
The plan’s investment strategy is based on an expectation that, over time, equity securities will provide higher total returns than debt securities, but with greater risk. The plan primarily minimizes the risk of large losses through diversification of investments by asset class, by investing in different types of styles within the classes and by using a number of different managers. The Committee monitors the asset allocation and investment performance monthly, with a more comprehensive quarterly review with its consultant. During fiscal 2014, the Committee revised the target asset allocation to shift to more fixed income and less alternative investments as a percentage of total plan assets. This revision to the target asset allocation was made to better match future cash flows from plan assets with the future cash flows of the projected benefit obligation.
The plan’s expected return on assets is based on management’s and the Committee’s expectations of long-term average rates of return to be achieved by the plan’s investments. These expectations are based on the plan’s historical returns and expected returns for the asset classes in which the plan is invested.
The Company has adopted the fair value provisions for the plan assets of its pension plans. The Company categorizes plan assets within a three level fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 6.
Investments stated at fair value as determined by quoted market prices (Level 1) include:
Short-Term Investments: Short-Term Investments include cash and money market mutual funds that invest in short-term securities and are valued based on cost, which approximates fair value;
Equity Securities: U.S. Common Stocks and International Mutual Funds are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the fiscal year.
Investments stated at estimated fair value using significant observable inputs (Level 2) include:
Fixed Income Securities: Fixed Income Securities include investments in domestic bond collective trusts that are not traded publicly, but the underlying assets held in these funds are traded on active markets and the prices are readily observable.

Contributions
On July 6, 2012, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21 Act) was signed into law. The MAP-21 Act included certain pension-related provisions which included changes to the methodology used to determine discount rates for ERISA funding purposes for qualified defined benefit pension plans. Based on historical interest rates, the MAP-21 Act allows plan sponsors to utilize a higher discount rate to value pension liabilities, which results in lower required pension plan contributions under ERISA. During fiscal 2014, the Company made no cash contributions to the qualified pension plan. Based upon current regulations and actuarial studies the Company is required to make no minimum contributions to the qualified pension plan in fiscal 2015. The Company may be required to make further contributions in future years depending on the actual return on plan assets and the funded status of the plan in future periods.
Estimated Future Benefit Payments
Projected benefit payments from the plans as of June 29, 2014 are estimated as follows (in thousands):

Defined Contribution Plans
Employees of the Company may participate in a defined contribution savings plan that allows participants to contribute a portion of their earnings in accordance with plan specifications. Prior to January 1, 2014, a maximum of 1.5% to 3.5% of each participant’s salary, depending upon the participant’s group, was matched by the Company. Additionally, certain employees may have received Company nonelective contributions equal to 2.0% of the employee’s salary.
Simultaneously with the aforementioned amendments to freeze the Company's defined benefit retirement plans for U.S., non-bargaining employees, effective January 1, 2014, amendments were also made to increase benefits under the defined contribution plans effective January 1, 2014. These amendments increased the Company's maximum matching contribution from 3.5% to 4.0% of pay and offer all domestic non-bargaining employees a Company non-elective contribution of 3.0% of the employee's pay.
The Company contributions totaled $10.8 million in 2014, $7.9 million in 2013 and $8.3 million in 2012.
Postemployment Benefits
The Company accrues the expected cost of postemployment benefits over the years that the employees render service. These benefits apply only to employees who become disabled while actively employed, or who terminate with at least thirty years of service and retire prior to age sixty-five. The items include disability payments, life insurance and medical benefits. These amounts were discounted using a 3.95% interest rate for fiscal 2014 and 4.40% interest rate for fiscal 2013. Amounts are included in Accrued Employee Benefits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Restructuring Actions [Text Block]	'
	Restructuring Actions:
	In fiscal 2012, the Company announced plans to reduce manufacturing capacity through closure of its Newbern, Tennessee and Ostrava, Czech Republic plants, as well as the consolidation of its plants in Poplar Bluff, Missouri and Auburn, Alabama. During fiscal 2012, the Company ceased manufacturing operations at its Newbern, Tennessee and Ostrava, Czech Republic plants, and carried out the consolidation of the Poplar Bluff, Missouri plant. Production of horizontal shaft engines was concluded at the Auburn, Alabama plant during the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company also announced in fiscal 2012 the reduction of approximately 10% of the Company's salaried headcount. In fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013, the Company implemented the salaried headcount reductions. Additionally, beginning in fiscal 2013, the Company exited the placement of lawn and garden products at national mass retailers. The Engines segment continues to support lawn and garden equipment OEMs who provide lawn and garden equipment to these retailers. Workforce reductions associated with the Company's restructuring initiatives impacted approximately 1,250 regular and temporary employees globally.
	In October 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an amendment to the Company's defined benefit retirement plans for U.S., non-bargaining employees. The amendment froze accruals for all non-bargaining employees effective January 1, 2014. The Company recorded a pre-tax curtailment charge of $1.9 million in fiscal 2013 related to the defined benefit plan change.
	In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company completed the sale of its dormant manufacturing facility in Jefferson, Wisconsin and a land parcel adjacent to its Ostrava, Czech Republic plant. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company completed the sale of the Ostrava, Czech Republic facility.
	Subsequent to fiscal 2014, the Company announced several new actions to be taken to execute the Company's strategy. Beginning in the 2016 lawn & garden season, the Company will narrow its assortment of lower-priced Snapper consumer lawn and garden equipment and consolidate its Products manufacturing facilities in order to further reduce costs. The Company will continue to focus on premium residential products to customers through its Snapper and Simplicity brands and commercial products through its Snapper Pro and Ferris brands. The Company will close its McDonough, Georgia location and consolidate production into existing facilities in Wisconsin and New York. Production of pressure washers, snow throwers and lawn tractors will move to its Wauwatosa, Wisconsin manufacturing facility, and production of zero-turn lawnmowers will be moved to its Munnsville, New York facility. Production is estimated to be completed in McDonough and transitioned to the other facilities during the first quarter of calendar 2015. These changes will affect approximately 475 employees during fiscal 2015. The Company's dealer product offerings under the Snapper Pro, Simplicity and Ferris brands as well as sales of Snapper and Murray branded lawn and garden products at Walmart are unaffected by these actions.
	The Company reports restructuring charges associated with manufacturing and related initiatives as costs of goods sold within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Restructuring charges reflected as costs of goods sold include, but are not limited to, termination and related costs associated with manufacturing employees, asset impairments and accelerated depreciation relating to manufacturing initiatives, and other costs directly related to the restructuring initiatives implemented. The Company reports all other non-manufacturing related restructuring charges as engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The Company recorded pre-tax charges of $6.5 million ($5.2 million after tax or $0.03 per diluted share) and $22.2 million ($15.5 million after tax or $0.33 per diluted share) during fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to the restructuring actions. The Engines segment recorded $3.5 million and $12.4 million of pre-tax restructuring charges during fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Products segment recorded $3.0 million and $9.8 million of pre-tax restructuring charges during fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Summary_of_Significant_Account1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)	12 Months Ended
	Jun. 29, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Fiscal Year	'
	Fiscal Year: The Company’s fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks, ending on the Sunday nearest the last day of June in each year. The 2014, 2013 and 2012 fiscal years were each 52 weeks long. All references to years relate to fiscal years rather than calendar years.
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Investments in companies for which we have significant influence are accounted for by the equity method.
Accounting Estimates	'
	Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents: This caption includes cash, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Receivables	'
	Receivables: Receivables are recorded at their original carrying value less reserves for estimated uncollectible accounts.
Inventories	'
	Inventories: Inventories are stated at cost, which does not exceed market. The last-in, first-out (LIFO) method was used for determining the cost of approximately 51% of total inventories at June 29, 2014 and 48% at June 30, 2013. The cost for the remaining inventories was determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. If the FIFO inventory valuation method had been used exclusively, inventories would have been $64.5 million and $62.1 million higher in fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. The LIFO inventory adjustment was determined on an overall basis, and accordingly, each class of inventory reflects an allocation based on the FIFO amounts.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	'
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill reflects the cost of acquisitions in excess of the fair values assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units based upon the expected benefit of the synergies of the acquisition. The reporting units are Engines and Products. Other Intangible Assets reflect identifiable intangible assets that arose from purchase acquisitions. Other Intangible Assets are comprised of tradenames, patents and customer relationships. Goodwill and tradenames, which are considered to have indefinite lives, are not amortized; however, both must be tested for impairment at least annually. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis for other intangible assets with finite lives. Patents have been assigned an estimated weighted average useful life of 13 years. The customer relationships have been assigned an estimated useful life of 14 to 25 years. The Company is subject to financial statement risk in the event that goodwill and intangible assets become impaired.
	The Company performed the required impairment tests in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012. The Company recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges and non-cash intangible asset impairment charges in fiscal 2014 and 2013. There were no goodwill impairment charges or intangible asset impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2012. Refer to Note 7 for a discussion of the non-cash goodwill impairment charges and the non-cash intangible asset impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2014 and 2013.
Investments	'
	Investments: This caption represents the Company’s investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies. Combined financial information of the unconsolidated affiliated companies accounted for by the equity method, generally on a lag of 3 months or less, was as follows (in thousands):
	Results of operations of unconsolidated affiliated companies for the fiscal year (in thousands):
		2014			2013			2012
	Results of Operations:
	Sales	$	143,007		$	113,452		$	129,063
	Cost of Goods Sold	116,158			92,844			103,254
	Gross Profit	$	26,849		$	20,608		$	25,809
	Net Income	$	13,653		$	8,057		$	9,751
	Balance sheets of unconsolidated affiliated companies as of fiscal year-end (in thousands):
		2014			2013
	Financial Position:
	Assets:
	Current Assets	$	76,811		$	45,355
	Noncurrent Assets	28,106			15,527
		104,917			60,882
	Liabilities:
	Current Liabilities	$	22,990		$	12,989
	Noncurrent Liabilities	1,779			2,900
		24,769			15,889
	Equity	$	80,148		$	44,993
	Net sales to equity method investees were approximately $18.7 million, $1.0 million and $1.8 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Purchases of finished products from equity method investees were approximately $102.4 million, $107.0 million and $119.6 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company joined with one of its independent distributors to form a venture to distribute service parts. The Company contributed non-cash assets in exchange for receiving an ownership interest in the venture. As a result of the transaction, the Company recorded an investment of $6.5 million. The Company uses the equity method to account for this investment. Subsequent to fiscal 2014, a second independent distributor joined the venture.
Debt Issuance Costs	'
	Debt Issuance Costs: Direct and incremental costs incurred in obtaining loans or in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related credit agreements. Approximately $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.2 million of debt issuance costs and original issue discounts were amortized to interest expense during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Plant and Equipment and Depreciation	'
	Plant and Equipment and Depreciation: Plant and equipment are stated at historical cost. For financial reporting purposes, plant and equipment are depreciated primarily by the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which generally range from 3 to 10 years for software, from 20 to 40 years for land improvements, from 20 to 50 years for buildings, and 3 to 20 years for machinery and equipment. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which significantly extend the useful lives of existing plant and equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of plant and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in cost of goods sold.
	Depreciation expense was approximately $47.2 million, $52.3 million and $60.3 million during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment	'
	Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets. Refer to Note 18 for impairments associated with restructuring actions.
Warranty	'
	Warranty: The Company recognizes the cost associated with its standard warranty on engines and products at the time of sale. The general warranty period begins at the time of sale and typically covers two years, but may vary due to product type and geographic location. The amount recognized is based on historical failure rates and current claim cost experience. The following is a reconciliation of the changes in accrued warranty costs for the reporting period (in thousands):
		2014			2013
	Balance, Beginning of Period	$	45,037		$	46,012
	Payments	(28,377		)	(26,173		)
	Provision for Current Year Warranties	29,087			26,438
	Changes in Estimates	(1,003		)	(1,240		)
	Balance, End of Period	$	44,744		$	45,037
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition: Net sales include sales of engines, products, and related service parts and accessories, net of allowances for cash discounts, customer volume rebates and discounts, floor plan interest and advertising allowances. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. This is generally upon shipment, except for certain international shipments, where revenue is recognized when the customer receives the product.
	Included in net sales are costs associated with programs under which the Company shares the expense of financing certain dealer and distributor inventories, referred to as floor plan expense. This represents interest for a pre-established length of time based on a variable rate from a contract with a third party financing source for dealer and distributor inventory purchases. Sharing the cost of these financing arrangements is used by Briggs & Stratton as a marketing incentive for customers to buy inventory. The financing costs included in net sales in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $5.5 million, $6.3 million and $5.5 million, respectively.
	The Company also offers a variety of customer rebates and sales incentives. The Company records estimates for rebates and incentives at the time of sale, as a reduction in net sales.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes includes federal, state and foreign income taxes currently payable and those deferred because of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The deferred income tax asset represents temporary differences relating to current assets and current liabilities, and the long-term deferred income tax asset represents temporary differences related to noncurrent assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.
Retirement Plans	'
	Retirement Plans: The Company has noncontributory, defined benefit retirement plans and postretirement benefit plans covering certain employees. Retirement benefits represent a form of deferred compensation, which are subject to change due to changes in assumptions. Management reviews underlying assumptions on an annual basis. Refer to Note 17.
Research and Development Costs	'
	Research and Development Costs: Expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes, including significant improvements and refinements to existing products, are expensed as incurred and recorded in engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amounts charged against income were $19.7 million, $18.5 million and $19.8 million in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Advertising Costs	'
	Advertising Costs: Advertising costs, included in Engineering, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, are expensed as incurred. These expenses totaled $18.5 million in fiscal 2014, $17.7 million in fiscal 2013 and $22.3 million in fiscal 2012.
Shipping and Handling Fees	'
	Shipping and Handling Fees: Revenue received from shipping and handling fees is reflected in net sales and related shipping costs are recorded in cost of goods sold. Shipping fee revenue for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $4.4 million, $4.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation	'
	Foreign Currency Translation: Foreign currency balance sheet accounts are translated into dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at fiscal year-end. Income and expenses incurred in a foreign currency are translated at the average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The related translation adjustments are made directly to a separate component of Shareholders’ Investment. During fiscal 2013, the Company recorded a charge of $4.2 million of foreign currency translation primarily recognized in connection with the substantial liquidation of the Company's investment in the Ostrava, Czech Republic entity, which was related to previously announced restructuring actions. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the results of operations in the period incurred. The Company recorded pre-tax foreign currency transaction losses of $3.9 million and $4.1 million during fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	'
	Earnings (Loss) Per Share: The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s unvested grants of restricted stock and deferred stock awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends (whether paid or unpaid), which are required to be treated as participating securities and included in the computation of basic earnings per share.
	Information on earnings (loss) per share is as follows (in thousands except per share data):

	Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share	$	0.59		$	(0.73	)	$	0.57
	The dilutive effect of the potential exercise of outstanding stock-based awards to acquire common shares is calculated using the treasury stock method. The following options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares, and their inclusion in the computation would be antidilutive:
		Fiscal Year Ended
		June 29, 2014			June 30, 2013			July 1, 2012
	Options to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (in thousands)	916			1,590			3,679
	Weighted Average Exercise Price of Options Excluded	$	29.62		$	34.13		$	27.71
	As a result of the Company incurring a net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, potential incremental common shares of 1,126,000 were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Derivative Instruments & Hedging Activity	'
	Derivative Instruments & Hedging Activity: The Company enters into derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage certain interest rate, foreign currency and commodity exposures. Company policy allows derivatives to be used only for identifiable exposures and, therefore, the Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits.
	The Company formally designates the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure and documents both the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge. The Company formally assesses, both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in the forecasted cash flows of the related underlying exposure. Because of the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the forecasted cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. Derivative financial instruments are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. The effective portion of gains or losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.
	The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, the cash flow hedge is dedesignated because a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring, or management determines to remove the designation of the cash flow hedge.
	In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognizes any subsequent changes in its fair value in earnings. When it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and recognizes immediately in earnings gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income related to the hedging relationship.
