Did Tecumseh close up?

Recommended Posts

I had to pick up my father in laws push mower at the shop today. While there the owner tells me that he heard Tecumseh will or has closed up shop. I've tired to Google this, but I'm only finding different plant closings for them. He also told me that Kohler will soon have their small 3-1/2,4 and 5 horse vertical engines made in China, these will look almost like the Honda engines. I guess they may be a "copy" to Honda. They are made for push mowers.

Now I've got to wonder if Kohler will have all their small engines built in China? Does anyone know and anyone know about Tecumseh?I guess I've been in the dark for a while. :scratchead:

Yep... they got out of the engine business effective Dec 15, 2008. There's a few posts around here somewhere about it. No engines... no parts... any replacement parts now have to come from after market distributors like Stens or Primeline.
