Not sure how usable with a 1 3/8" x 1 1/8" stepped to 7/8" x 1 7/8" shaft but Surplus Center has brand new 10hp recoil Tecumsehs for $140!

Its a shame that they don't come with a standard size crank shaft

It's like Mother's Earth News!  Or Popular Mechanics, Family Handyman or I hope my soon to be delivered Garden Tractor whatever it is named!

 

Good deals on seats!  And a standard 12 starter solenoid for $6!

Yeah, I'm not sure if it can even be used within reason.  Hoping someone will offer some suggestions...

I hadn't read this in years, just recently subscribed again, and bought the archive of all the back issues

I saw the price on the Tecumseh engines . I thought Tecumseh went out of business a few years ago ? I wonder if they have parts for the older engines?

Tecky's haven't been made in a while. Probably left over stock they bought from some other wharehouse.

NOS I'm sure.  Stated they were made for electric generators which might explain the shaft configuration.  I'm curious if there's a feasible way to use one on a WH?  Not a bad price for a new 10 hp, even if it is only a recoil.  I don't know enough about the older WHs, pulleys and drives...

I think I saw the Techy's for sale somewhere else. I thought they were long gone but in a tread on this Forum someone said something about another company bought Tecumseh and was back in production.

      A new member of the herd. C160/Tecumseh.
      By ebinmaine
      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.

      Anything special I need to know to disassemble an HH60?
      By ebinmaine
      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?

      656 Restore
      By ohiostate454
      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.

      What's the correct location for these decals?
      By ebinmaine
      I've ordered this set
       
      https://www.redoyourhorse.com/tecumseh-4-pc-engine-decal-set/
       
      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!!
