Recommended Posts

What is everyones opinion on how the name Tecumseh is to be pronounced?  I have always said Tecumsah, I've heard a lot of people say Tecumsee here lately.   :eusa-think:

Water?? I guess my Dad should have had Teckys instead of Kohlers. Back in the early 60's, after watching him put water in that tank thingy under the hood of the car, I decided to help him out by putting water in that tank thingy on the Wheel Horse. That's when he learned that the water will reach the carb only at the furthest point from the garage on his 10 acres.

It's the end(seh)is what people get creative with. 

I've heard it...see, say, sah. 

Correctly, I think the(seh)is pronounced "ahh"

To me it's...Tecums-ahh.  indian-1.gif

      A HUGE thank you to Tony @Docwheelhorse for settin' me up here.
       
      The generosity of some of our members never ceases to amaze me.
       
      This here is another 1974 C160, but with the rare Tecumseh HH/OH160 OHV engine. Made one year only.
       
      It's rough. Very much in need of a full disassembly and restoration.
       
      When it came here it was missing one tie rod and the other was broken off one end.
      Today I popped used tie rods on and Trina used her 867 to drag it from the drive to the shed.
       
      The engine wouldn't move.
      Tin was near chock full of skeletal mouseseses and their house.
      Cleaned that out and the engine spins freely now.
       
      So progress has been made.
       
      It'll be a good long while before we get to this one but I just couldn't turn it down considering the rarity.

      We're going to take apart the Tecumseh from my Honey's 657 so I can replace the crankshaft.
      Any little tricks or tips I need to know about?

      So I have been working on a 656 I picked up at the end of last year and I did my first ever motor rebuild by my self on it. However it seems that I have lots of play in the piston and some slop at TDC more then I should have. So to finish the year mowing I am thinking of doing a predator swap while I go over the engine again. I am sure several people have done this before and I have a spare mounting plat to make it work. I am wondering if anyone has any pictures of ones they have done for help along the way. I know I will need a adapter to use the factory pulley and I don't want to destroy any of the sheetmetal since it is in good shape. I will keep you posted as I go along and eventually when I get the hh60 back together correctly to re install.

      from our awesome vendor Terry @Vinylguy.
       
      I know where the balloon sticker goes and the oil sticker.
       
      Where does the large "Solid State" one belong??
       
      Thanks!!
