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 2015, 2014 and 2013 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 49% of total inventories at June 28, 2015 and 51% at June 29, 2014. 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 $62.6 million and $64.5 million higher in fiscal 2015 and 2014 , 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. During 2015, liquidation of LIFO layers generated income of $1.8 million . 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. Other Intangible Assets reflect identifiable intangible assets that arose from purchase acquisitions. Other Intangible Assets are primarily 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 15 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 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . There were no goodwill impairment charges or intangible asset impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2015.The Company recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges and non-cash intangible asset impairment charges in fiscal 2014 and 2013. 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): 2015 2014 2013 Results of Operations: Sales $ 219,904 $ 143,007 $ 113,452 Cost of Goods Sold 173,603 116,158 92,844 Gross Profit $ 46,301 $ 26,849 $ 20,608 Net Income $ 14,957 $ 13,653 $ 8,057 Balance sheets of unconsolidated affiliated companies as of fiscal year-end (in thousands): 2015 2014 Financial Position: Assets: Current Assets $ 99,596 $ 76,811 Noncurrent Assets 43,555 28,106 143,151 104,917 Liabilities: Current Liabilities $ 36,630 $ 22,990 Noncurrent Liabilities 9,859 1,779 46,489 24,769 Equity $ 96,662 $ 80,148 Net sales to equity method investees were approximately $60.1 million , $18.7 million and $1.0 million in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Purchases of finished products from equity method investees were approximately $104.7 million , $102.4 million and $107.0 million in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , 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 . In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, a second independent distributor joined the venture and, as a result, the Company recorded an additional investment of $2.8 million . During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the venture acquired a third independent distributor. The Company uses the equity method to account for this investment, and the earnings of the unconsolidated affiliate are recorded within the Products Segment. As of June 28, 2015, the Company's total investment in the venture was $10.0 million , and its ownership percentage was 11.9% . Subsequent to fiscal 2015, the venture added a fourth independent distributor through an acquisition. 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 $1.0 million of debt issuance costs and original issue discounts were amortized to interest expense during fiscal years 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , 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 $48.5 million , $47.2 million and $52.3 million during fiscal years 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , 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): 2015 2014 Balance, Beginning of Period $ 44,744 $ 45,037 Payments (27,366 ) (28,377 ) Provision for Current Year Warranties 30,673 29,087 Changes in Estimates (44 ) (1,003 ) Balance, End of Period $ 48,007 $ 44,744 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 (LIBOR) plus a fixed percentage 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 the Company as a marketing incentive for customers to purchase the Company's products to have floor stock for retail customers to purchase. The Company enters into interest rate swaps to hedge cash flows for a portion of its interest rate risk. The financing costs, net of the related gain or loss on interest rate swaps, are recorded at the time of sale as a reduction of net sales. Included in net sales in fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 were financing costs, net of the related gain or loss on interest rate swaps, of $6.0 million , $5.5 million and $6.3 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 $19.9 million , $19.7 million and $18.5 million in fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Advertising Costs: Advertising costs, included in engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations, are expensed as incurred. These expenses totaled $17.5 million in fiscal 2015 , $18.5 million in fiscal 2014 and $17.7 million in fiscal 2013 . 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 2015 , 2014 and 2013 was $6.6 million , $4.4 million and $4.9 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 gains of $3.7 million in fiscal 2015 and 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 June 28, 2015 June 29, 2014 June 30, 2013 Net Income (Loss) $ 45,687 $ 28,347 $ (33,657 ) Less: Earnings Allocated to Participating Securities (1,154 ) (768 ) (605 ) Net Income (Loss) available to Common Shareholders $ 44,533 $ 27,579 $ (34,262 ) Average Shares of Common Stock Outstanding 44,392 46,366 47,172 Incremental Common Shares Applicable to Common Stock Options and Performance Shares Based on the Common Stock Average Market Price During the Period 50 70 — Diluted Average Shares of Common Stock Outstanding 44,442 46,436 47,172 Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share $ 1.00 $ 0.59 $ (0.73 ) Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share $ 1.00 $ 0.59 $ (0.73 ) 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 28, 2015 June 29, 2014 June 30, 2013 Options to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (in thousands) 784 916 1,590 Weighted Average Exercise Price of Options Excluded $ 20.37 $ 29.62 $ 34.13 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) for fiscal 2013 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements	Jun. 28, 2015
Prospective Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-07, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)." The core principle of the guidance is to remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The guidance also removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A reporting entity should apply the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented. Earlier application is permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-07 beginning with the fiscal year ended June 28, 2015. In Note 17, certain investments within the Company's pension plan assets that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flow. 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, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, under either full or modified retrospective adoption. Early application is only permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of this new accounting pronouncement on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flow.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
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 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 (in thousands): Fair Value Measurement Using June 28, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Derivatives $ 4,693 $ — $ 4,693 $ — Liabilities: Derivatives $ 2,745 $ — $ 2,745 $ — Fair Value Measurement Using June 29, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Derivatives $ 431 $ — $ 431 $ — Liabilities: Derivatives $ 1,932 $ — $ 1,932 $ — 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 and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of their fair values at June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 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 Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting segment for the fiscal years ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 are as follows (in thousands): Engines Products Total Goodwill Balance at June 30, 2013 $ 140,937 $ 6,415 $ 147,352 Impairment Loss — (2,960 ) (2,960 ) Effect of Translation 125 5 130 Goodwill Balance at June 29, 2014 $ 141,062 $ 3,460 $ 144,522 Acquisitions — 24,770 24,770 Effect of Translation (2,781 ) (989 ) (3,770 ) Goodwill Balance at June 28, 2015 $ 138,281 $ 27,241 $ 165,522 At June 28, 2015 , June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 , accumulated goodwill impairment losses, as recorded in the Products segment, were $123.7 million , $123.7 million and $120.8 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. Generally, the Company first determines based on a qualitative assessment whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company will test goodwill 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. 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 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 are as follows (in thousands) in the table below. After an intangible asset has been fully amortized, it is removed from the table in the subsequent year. 2015 2014 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Amortized Intangible Assets: Patents $ 7,300 $ (5,353 ) $ 1,947 $ 13,601 $ (11,167 ) $ 2,434 Customer Relationships 60,182 (10,840 ) 49,342 32,539 (8,610 ) 23,929 Other Intangible Assets 739 (98 ) 641 — — — Effect of Translation (5,071 ) 547 (4,524 ) (991 ) (49 ) (1,040 ) Total Amortized Intangible Assets 63,150 (15,744 ) 47,406 45,149 (19,826 ) 25,323 Unamortized Intangible Assets: Tradenames 67,111 — 67,111 55,016 — 55,016 Effect of Translation (3,237 ) — (3,237 ) (22 ) — (22 ) Total Unamortized Intangible Assets 63,874 — 63,874 54,994 — 54,994 Total Intangible Assets $ 127,024 $ (15,744 ) $ 111,280 $ 100,143 $ (19,826 ) $ 80,317 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. In fiscal 2015, the Company determined that no intangible asset impairment existed. In fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, the Company recorded non-cash intangible asset impairment charges of $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. Amortization expense of other intangible assets amounted to approximately $2.8 million in 2015 , $2.2 million in 2014 , and $2.5 million in 2013 . The estimated amortization expense of other intangible assets for the next five years is (in thousands): 2016 $ 3,268 2017 3,268 2018 3,268 2019 3,268 2020 2,781 $ 15,853

The components of deferred income taxes were as follows (in thousands): Current Asset (Liability): 2015 2014 Difference Between Book and Tax Related to: Inventory $ 12,159 $ 13,504 Payroll Related Accruals 4,980 4,741 Warranty Reserves 11,065 10,247 Workers Compensation Accruals 2,421 2,547 Other Accrued Liabilities 11,432 12,191 Net Operating Loss/State Credit Carryforwards — 585 Miscellaneous 3,814 5,143 Deferred Income Tax Asset (Liability) $ 45,871 $ 48,958 Long-Term Asset (Liability): Difference Between Book and Tax Related to: Pension Cost $ 53,237 $ 25,272 Accumulated Depreciation (43,484 ) (45,397 ) Intangibles (58,180 ) (43,062 ) Accrued Employee Benefits 43,428 44,827 Postretirement Health Care Obligation 15,838 22,530 Warranty 6,910 6,718 Valuation Allowance (17,198 ) (15,241 ) Net Operating Loss/State Credit Carryforwards 22,694 19,629 Miscellaneous (1,016 ) (98 ) Deferred Income Tax Asset (Liability) $ 22,229 $ 15,178 Total deferred tax assets were $170.8 million and $152.7 million as of June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, respectively. Total deferred tax liabilities were $102.7 million and $88.6 million as of June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, respectively. During fiscal 2015, the total valuation allowance increased by $2.0 million . Deferred tax assets were generated during the current year as a result of foreign income tax loss carryforwards in the amount of $1.6 million . At June 28, 2015, there are $5.3 million of foreign income tax loss carryforwards, consisting of $3.1 million which have no expiration date, and $2.2 million which will expire within the next 6 to 10 years. A deferred tax asset of $17.4 million exists at June 28, 2015 related to state income tax losses and state tax credit carryforwards. If not utilized against future taxable income, this amount will expire from 2016 through 2028 . Realization of the deferred tax assets are contingent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of these carryforwards. At June 28, 2015, a valuation allowance of $3.8 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 $13.4 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 $70.4 million at June 28, 2015 . 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 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 is reconciled as follows: Unrecognized Tax Benefits (in thousands): 2015 2014 2013 Beginning Balance $ 7,657 $ 6,949 6,717 Changes based on tax positions related to prior year 4,573 380 — Additions based on tax positions related to current year 691 378 997 Settlements with taxing authorities (2,120 ) — (39 ) Lapse of statute of limitations (250 ) (50 ) (726 ) Ending Balance $ 10,551 $ 7,657 $ 6,949 As of June 28, 2015 , gross unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate were $8.4 million . Of that amount, there is a reasonable possibility that approximately $0.2 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 recognized for fiscal years 2015 , 2014 and 2013 was $0.1 million , $0.1 million , and $0.2 million , respectively. As of June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 , the Company had $1.2 million and $1.2 million , respectively, accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. At June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 , the liability for uncertain tax positions, inclusive of interest and penalties, was $11.8 million and $8.8 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 currently under audit for the fiscal years 2010 and 2013, and is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations before fiscal 2010. The Company is also currently under audit by various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to tax examinations before fiscal 2005 in its major foreign jurisdictions.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
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 $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 concluded. Both parties moved for summary judgment, which was fully briefed on December 23, 2014. Summary judgment is currently pending before the court, and no hearing date or trial date has been set. On May 12, 2010, Exmark Manufacturing Company, Inc. ("Exmark") filed suit against Briggs & Stratton Power Products Group, LLC (Case No. 8:10CV187, U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska), alleging that certain Ferris® and Snapper Pro® mower decks infringe an Exmark mower deck patent. Exmark is seeking damages relating to sales since 2004 and attorneys’ fees. As a result of a reexamination proceeding in 2012, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) initially rejected the asserted Exmark claims as invalid. However, that decision was reversed by the USPTO on appeal. Following discovery, each of the Company and Exmark filed motions for summary judgment, which were decided by the Court on July 28, 2015. The Court concluded that one of the Company's mower deck designs infringed Exmark’s patent, leaving for trial the issues of whether another of the designs infringes, damages and willfulness of the Company's conduct. Trial is scheduled to begin on September 8, 2015. The Company believes it has strong defenses and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously, through appeal if necessary. At this stage, the Company cannot make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss, if any, arising from this lawsuit as there are significant issues to be resolved in connection with the trial. 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: Effective October 20, 2004, a total of 8,000,000 shares of common stock (as adjusted for the fiscal 2005 2 -for-1 stock split) were originally reserved for future issuance pursuant to the Company's Incentive Compensation Plan, and as a result of an amendment approved by shareholders on October 21, 2009 an additional 2,481,494 shares were reserved. On October 15, 2014, the Company's shareholders approved the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which constituted a complete amendment and restatement of the Company's Incentive Compensation Plan and under which 3,760,000 shares of common stock were reserved for future issuance (plus any shares remaining available for issuance under the Incentive Compensation Plan as of that date). Similar to the Incentive Compensation Plan, in accordance with the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company can issue eligible participants stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and other stock-based and cash bonus awards subject to certain annual limitations. The plans also allow participants to defer the payment of awards and the Company to issue directors’ fees in stock. Stock-based compensation vests in accordance with the applicable 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 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $6.2 million , $7.2 million and $6.5 million , respectively. Beginning for fiscal 2015 grants, the exercise price of each stock option is equal to the market value of the stock on the grant date. The exercise price of each stock option issued prior to fiscal 2015 exceeded the market value of the stock on the date of grant 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 industry valuation practices and methodology. The assumptions used to determine fair value are as follows: Options Granted During 2015 2014 2013 Grant Date Fair Value $ 3.81 $ 5.19 $ 4.83 (Since options are only granted once per year, the grant date fair value equals the weighted average grant date fair value.)

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 2015 and 2014 was $11.4 million and $4.1 million , respectively. During fiscal years 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , the Company issued 158,280 , 146,320 and 134,830 shares of restricted stock, respectively. For restricted stock issued prior to October 15, 2014, the restricted stock vests on the fifth anniversary date of the grant provided the recipient is still employed by the Company. For restricted stock (including restricted stock units) issued after October 15, 2014, the restricted stock vests on the third 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 $3.3 million , $2.8 million and $2.5 million in fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , 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 (issuances prior to October 15, 2014) or the three-year vesting period (issuances after October 15, 2014). The Company issued 36,975 , 35,433 and 38,888 deferred shares to its directors in lieu of directors' fees in fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively, under this provision of the plans. The Company issued 25,181 , 29,120 and 43,499 shares of deferred stock to its officers and key employees in fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. The aggregate market value on the date of grant was approximately $0.5 million , $0.6 million and $0.8 million , respectively. Expense is recognized ratably over the five-year vesting period. The Company issued 125,853 , 128,371 , and 121,230 performance shares or performance share units in fiscal 2015 , 2014 , and 2013 , respectively. A maximum of two shares of Briggs & Stratton common stock per performance share or performance share unit 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 $2.4 million , $2.5 million , and $2.4 million in fiscal 2015 , 2014 , and 2013, respectively. Beginning in fiscal 2015, the Company transitioned from granting performance shares that vest based on the performance of the Company's share price as compared to a comparator group of companies to performance share units that vest based on Company-specific performance goals. The performance share units are valued at the Company's share price on the date of grant multiplied by the probability of achieving payout. The Monte Carlo valuation methodology was used to value performance shares granted in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013. Expense for each of the awards granted in fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014, and fiscal 2013 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, the Company considers historic and observable market data. Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo valuation model for performance shares granted during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 include the following: Performance Shares Granted During 2014 2013 Assumptions: Risk-free Interest Rate 0.7 % 0.4 % Expected Volatility 32.1 % 35.5 % Expected Dividend Yield (Dividends are Assumed Reinvested) — % — % Expected Term (in Years) 2.86 2.87 The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s stock-based compensation programs recorded as expense: 2015 2014 2013 Stock Options: Pretax compensation expense $ 1,680 $ 2,065 $ 1,964 Tax benefit (638 ) (791 ) (766 ) Stock option expense, net of tax $ 1,042 $ 1,274 $ 1,198 Restricted Stock: Pretax compensation expense $ 2,416 $ 2,563 $ 2,375 Tax benefit (918 ) (982 ) (926 ) Restricted stock expense, net of tax $ 1,498 $ 1,581 $ 1,449 Deferred Stock: Pretax compensation expense $ 339 $ 685 $ 475 Tax benefit (129 ) (252 ) (185 ) Deferred stock expense, net of tax $ 210 $ 433 $ 290 Performance Shares: Pretax compensation expense $ 1,792 $ 1,861 $ 1,700 Tax benefit (681 ) (713 ) (664 ) Performance Share expense, net of tax $ 1,111 $ 1,148 $ 1,036 Total Stock-Based Compensation: Pretax compensation expense $ 6,227 $ 7,174 $ 6,514 Tax benefit (2,366 ) (2,738 ) (2,541 ) Total stock-based compensation, net of tax $ 3,861 $ 4,436 $ 3,973

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 . The rights and the related rights agreement expire by their terms on October 21, 2015.

Foreign Currency Derivatives [Abstract]
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, Australian Dollars, Brazilian Real, Canadian Dollars. Chinese Renminbi, Euros, Japanese Yen, or Mexican Pesos. 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. These contracts generally do not have a maturity of more than thirty six 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 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 , the Company had the following outstanding derivative contracts (in thousands): Contract Notional Amount June 28, 2015 June 29, 2014 Interest Rate: LIBOR Interest Rate (U.S. Dollars) Fixed 95,000 95,000 Foreign Currency: Australian Dollar Sell 29,473 19,904 Brazilian Real Sell 22,443 — Canadian Dollar Sell 9,326 3,100 Chinese Renminbi Buy 259,350 — Euro Sell 62,740 49,300 Japanese Yen Buy 711,000 530,000 Mexican Peso Sell — 3,000 Commodity: Natural Gas (Therms) Buy 11,324 5,686 The location and fair value of derivative instruments reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows (in thousands): Balance Sheet Location Asset (Liability) Fair Value June 28, 2015 June 29, 2014 Interest rate contracts: Other Long-Term Assets, Net $ — $ 43 Other Long-Term Liabilities (1,034 ) (1,209 ) Foreign currency contracts: Other Current Assets 4,417 337 Other Long-Term Assets, Net 276 12 Accrued Liabilities (1,041 ) (665 ) Other Long-Term Liabilities (43 ) (9 ) Commodity contracts: Other Current Assets — 39 Accrued Liabilities (493 ) (35 ) Other Long-Term Liabilities (134 ) (14 ) $ 1,948 $ (1,501 ) The effect of derivatives designated as hedging instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) is as follows (in thousands): Twelve months ended June 28, 2015 Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on Derivatives, Net of Taxes (Effective Portion) Classification of Gain (Loss) Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Income (Effective Portion) Recognized in Earnings (Ineffective Portion) Interest rate contracts $ 79 Net Sales $ (1,222 ) $ — Foreign currency contracts – sell 2,086 Net Sales 12,353 — Foreign currency contracts – buy 228 Cost of Goods Sold (1,003 ) — Commodity contracts (97 ) Cost of Goods Sold (521 ) — $ 2,296 $ 9,607 $ — Twelve months ended June 29, 2014 Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on Derivatives, Net of Taxes (Effective Portion) Classification of Gain (Loss) Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Income (Effective Portion) Recognized in Earnings (Ineffective Portion) Interest rate contracts $ (254 ) Net Sales $ (1,209 ) $ — Foreign currency contracts – sell (717 ) Net Sales (1,024 ) — Foreign currency contracts – buy 182 Cost of Goods Sold (1,109 ) — Commodity contracts 3,378 Cost of Goods Sold (5,630 ) — $ 2,589 $ (8,972 ) $ — Twelve months ended June 30, 2013 Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on Derivatives, Net of Taxes (Effective Portion) Classification of Gain (Loss) Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Income (Effective Portion) Recognized in Earnings (Ineffective Portion) Interest rate contracts $ 962 Net Sales $ — $ — Foreign currency contracts – sell 102 Net Sales (55 ) — Foreign currency contracts – buy (177 ) Cost of Goods Sold (1,968 ) — Commodity contracts 3,094 Cost of Goods Sold (9,644 ) — $ 3,981 $ (11,667 ) $ — During the next twelve months, the amount of the June 28, 2015 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) balance that is expected to be reclassified into earnings is $1.7 million .

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.

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 concluded. Both parties moved for summary judgment, which was fully briefed on December 23, 2014. Summary judgment is currently pending before the court, and no hearing date or trial date has been set. For measurement purposes a 7.5% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care claims was assumed for the Company for the fiscal year 2015 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 $1.6 million and would increase the service and interest cost by $0.1 million for fiscal 2015 . A corresponding decrease of one percentage point, would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit by $1.6 million and decrease the service and interest cost by $0.1 million for the fiscal year 2015 . 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. 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 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 , by asset category are as follows: Plan Assets at Year-end Asset Category Target % 2015 2014 Domestic Equities 20%-28% 22% 20% International Equities 7%-17% 13% 10% Alternative & Absolute Return 0%-15% 12% 16% Fixed Income 48%-52% 50% 52% Cash Equivalents 0%-2% 3% 2% 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. Beginning in 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. The investment in the trusts is valued at the last quoted price on the last business day of the fiscal year. Fixed Income Securities also include corporate and government bonds that are valued using a bid evaluation process with data provided by independent pricing sources. Investments stated at estimated fair value using net asset value per share as the practical expedient include: Other Investments: Other Investments include investments in limited partnerships and are valued at estimated fair value, as determined with the assistance of each respective limited partnership, based on the net asset value of the investment as of the balance sheet date, which is subject to judgment. The fair value of the major categories of the pension plans’ investments are presented below (in thousands): June 28, 2015 Category Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Short-Term Investments: $ 28,378 $ 28,378 $ — $ — Fixed Income Securities: 481,576 — 481,576 — Equity Securities: U.S. common stocks 216,131 216,131 — — International mutual funds 127,423 127,423 — — Other Investments: Venture capital funds (A) (E) 47,289 — — — Debt funds (B) (E) 14,042 — — — Real estate funds (C) (E) 6,104 — — — Private equity funds (D) (E) 53,983 — — — Fair Value of Plan Assets at End of Year $ 974,926 $ 371,932 $ 481,576 $ — June 29, 2014 Category Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Short-Term Investments: $ 21,534 $ 21,534 $ — $ — Fixed Income Securities: 542,381 — 542,381 — Equity Securities: U.S. common stocks 204,578 204,578 — — International mutual funds 106,990 106,990 — — Other Investments: Venture capital funds (A) (E) 82,776 — — — Debt funds (B) (E) 19,907 — — — Real estate funds (C) (E) 10,445 — — — Private equity funds (D) (E) 54,855 — — — Fair Value of Plan Assets at End of Year $ 1,043,466 $ 333,102 $ 542,381 $ — (A) This category invests in a combination of public and private securities of companies in financial distress, spin-offs, or new projects focused on technology and manufacturing.

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. On August 8, 2014, the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 (HATFA Act) was enacted. The HATFA Act extends the pension provisions included in the MAP-21 Act. During fiscal 2015, 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 2016 through fiscal 2019. 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 28, 2015 are estimated as follows (in thousands): Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits Year Ending Qualified Non-Qualified Retiree Medical Retiree Life 2016 $ 75,279 $ 3,228 $ 10,681 $ 1,343 2017 75,616 3,270 8,557 1,364 2018 75,663 3,293 7,865 1,382 2019 76,055 3,443 6,641 1,399 2020 76,416 3,455 5,622 1,412 2021-2025 372,900 18,162 17,122 7,134 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 $14.2 million in 2015 , $10.8 million in 2014 and $7.9 million in 2013 . 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 4.20% interest rate for fiscal 2015 and 3.95% interest rate for fiscal 2014 . Amounts are included in Accrued Employee Benefits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)	12 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)	Jun. 28, 2015
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 2015, 2014 and 2013 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 49% of total inventories at June 28, 2015 and 51% at June 29, 2014. 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 $62.6 million and $64.5 million higher in fiscal 2015 and 2014 , 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. During 2015, liquidation of LIFO layers generated income of $1.8 million .
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. Other Intangible Assets reflect identifiable intangible assets that arose from purchase acquisitions. Other Intangible Assets are primarily 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 15 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 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . There were no goodwill impairment charges or intangible asset impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2015.The Company recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges and non-cash intangible asset impairment charges in fiscal 2014 and 2013. 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): 2015 2014 2013 Results of Operations: Sales $ 219,904 $ 143,007 $ 113,452 Cost of Goods Sold 173,603 116,158 92,844 Gross Profit $ 46,301 $ 26,849 $ 20,608 Net Income $ 14,957 $ 13,653 $ 8,057 Balance sheets of unconsolidated affiliated companies as of fiscal year-end (in thousands): 2015 2014 Financial Position: Assets: Current Assets $ 99,596 $ 76,811 Noncurrent Assets 43,555 28,106 143,151 104,917 Liabilities: Current Liabilities $ 36,630 $ 22,990 Noncurrent Liabilities 9,859 1,779 46,489 24,769 Equity $ 96,662 $ 80,148 Net sales to equity method investees were approximately $60.1 million , $18.7 million and $1.0 million in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Purchases of finished products from equity method investees were approximately $104.7 million , $102.4 million and $107.0 million in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , 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 . In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, a second independent distributor joined the venture and, as a result, the Company recorded an additional investment of $2.8 million . During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the venture acquired a third independent distributor. The Company uses the equity method to account for this investment, and the earnings of the unconsolidated affiliate are recorded within the Products Segment. As of June 28, 2015, the Company's total investment in the venture was $10.0 million , and its ownership percentage was 11.9% . Subsequent to fiscal 2015, the venture added a fourth independent distributor through an acquisition.
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 $1.0 million of debt issuance costs and original issue discounts were amortized to interest expense during fiscal years 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , 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 $48.5 million , $47.2 million and $52.3 million during fiscal years 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , 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): 2015 2014 Balance, Beginning of Period $ 44,744 $ 45,037 Payments (27,366 ) (28,377 ) Provision for Current Year Warranties 30,673 29,087 Changes in Estimates (44 ) (1,003 ) Balance, End of Period $ 48,007 $ 44,744
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 (LIBOR) plus a fixed percentage 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 the Company as a marketing incentive for customers to purchase the Company's products to have floor stock for retail customers to purchase. The Company enters into interest rate swaps to hedge cash flows for a portion of its interest rate risk. The financing costs, net of the related gain or loss on interest rate swaps, are recorded at the time of sale as a reduction of net sales. Included in net sales in fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 were financing costs, net of the related gain or loss on interest rate swaps, of $6.0 million , $5.5 million and $6.3 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 $19.9 million , $19.7 million and $18.5 million in fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively.
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs: Advertising costs, included in engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations, are expensed as incurred. These expenses totaled $17.5 million in fiscal 2015 , $18.5 million in fiscal 2014 and $17.7 million in fiscal 2013 .
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 2015 , 2014 and 2013 was $6.6 million , $4.4 million and $4.9 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 gains of $3.7 million in fiscal 2015 and 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): Fiscal Year Ended June 28, 2015 June 29, 2014 June 30, 2013 Net Income (Loss) $ 45,687 $ 28,347 $ (33,657 ) Less: Earnings Allocated to Participating Securities (1,154 ) (768 ) (605 ) Net Income (Loss) available to Common Shareholders $ 44,533 $ 27,579 $ (34,262 ) Average Shares of Common Stock Outstanding 44,392 46,366 47,172 Incremental Common Shares Applicable to Common Stock Options and Performance Shares Based on the Common Stock Average Market Price During the Period 50 70 — Diluted Average Shares of Common Stock Outstanding 44,442 46,436 47,172 Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share $ 1.00 $ 0.59 $ (0.73 ) Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share $ 1.00 $ 0.59 $ (0.73 ) 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 28, 2015 June 29, 2014 June 30, 2013 Options to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (in thousands) 784 916 1,590 Weighted Average Exercise Price of Options Excluded $ 20.37 $ 29.62 $ 34.13 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) for fiscal 2013 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.
