Harbor Freight $89 6.5hp

[mr.pipes 4]

There was a coupon in Sunday's paper for the 6.5hp for $89

I got this pic online. This coupon is good till 5/15/11

I think the one I got is good till 5/31/11

I think it was $12 for a 2 year no questions asked replacement when I bought mine.

Just thought I would post this for those who didn't see it who may be looking for a cheap replacement engine.

You know I often wondered how the quality of these cheap motors was. My brother bought one of these 6.5hp motors last year to put on his walk behind snow blower. He has been very pleased with it.

Anybody here have any experience with them?

IMO, even with the coupon, its still overpriced by about $99.

I understand if you don't like these engines for certain reasons. I just found out Saturday that my only sister and one year old son will be moving to Hong Kong for two years minimum. It sounds like my brother in law would be OK with staying indefinitely. I'm not exactly crazy about China either right now.

However, it is anything but overpriced. I don't know of anywhere else you can buy an engine for $100, beat the hell out of it you want and get a replacement for free if it fails within two years. If you have read any reviews you will see they are mostly positive.

I just wanted to let others know about what I think is a good deal.

I may have to get one for my kids go kart, that is only a few bucks more than the tucky carb I need for the old engine.

Now I need to find the ad.

I've been using these motors for a coupel years now on a variety of applications.... not one has failed in anyway. I even have one modded up, it pulls hard and runs mint.

These motors have their place. Say what you will about these motors and the Chineese.... but, for $89, $99 or $109 there is no better motor for the money on the market today.

I am looking to re-power an old garden tiller that has a blown up 5hp briggs so I think i'll give one of these a try. Where can I find the coupon?

[Kelly 1,033]

Thanks Jordan, but I think I will just put a engine on it and be done, the old tucky is tired.

I can't find the coupon any place???

I just got a Harbor Freight flier in the mail today and it has the coupon in it. I have a feeling that they will have a stack of them at the stores any time now too. Kelly, if you cant find one Ill send you the one that I have let me know if you need it and I can send it to you.

I found the coupons for sale on ebay but I can't find them anywhere else so I signed up on harbor freights web site for the email and snail mail flyers.

Guys, I just pulled the item #66015 and put one in shopping cart, then it asks if you have a code- put 57636490 in the code box and it comes up to 89.00 Seems to be a great price. Good Luck!

i have a chinese 6.5 on my c120auto,it came on it,it cant hold a candle to a true honda,it doesnt start good if it sits for a few months,i have hondas that start in -40 and not been started for a year,i know a honda is more $,but a far batter motor,i know 89 dollars is cheap,so it might do the trick for the cash

If you want to order one of those engines online, just go to the engine page, find the 6.5hp engine, go to checkout and put in code 57636490 and it will recalculate the price to $89.99. You can print the order and take it to your local store and make the purchase.
