Recommended Posts

I have my new wheel horse lawn ranger and it does not have any stickers on the engine any more, I think it might be a tecumpesh h55 engine with a walbro LMB 53 carb I have pictures I will post of the engine id tag and a date posted in the side, I will put them in this and other comments on this thread, thanks for the help, Keaton

If you look at the details page for the 1962 model 32R this engine is listed. Also used on the 1962 model 502.

Not very often we see the original engines still with the tractor.

I am not 100% Shure but I believe it is original, but if the serial matches up I guess it is

@gwest_ca on the lawn ranger 32 r spreadsheet it is is a 5.5hp and on a other chart it says it is a 6hp I guess they just put six to round up

The HT55 is 5.5hp. I do not know what the T represents.

Wheel Horse also used H50 - 5hp and H60 - 6hp.

When you see a H-60 it is an aluminum block and HH-60 is a cast iron block.

Was able to grab the engines used by Wheel Horse and Toro with their spec numbers. Info that is slightly hidden at Toro.

i was looking around on the side and @pfrederi said in a lawn ranger post that " At one time "T" was used to indicate Tecumseh as opposed to Lauson Power Products." 

so @gwest_ca that us what the "T" means in the engines, i have a power products engine so it makes sence

The HT55 models on the Toro list have 2 spec numbers with one being electric start and the other recoil start. All are 1962 models.

32E and 552

32R and 502

Tecumseh did stamp the numbers on the top of the blower housing. Would be next

to the row of head bolts holding it on.
