Scored a Lawn Ranger! Tecumseh problems as usual!

Recommended Posts

Finally got me a lawn ranger and picked it up for an awesome price!! Now to get it running good. :unsure: H60 Tecumseh won't run right. Goes from running great to running absolutely terrible and backfiring from the carb. I'm guessing the valves are messed up? Compression test rendered around 85 psi.

I have one just like it. You will enjoy it. Mine has the original front tires just like yours. I like those tires myself. You might find the quality of cut for mowing a bit disappointing. I know I did. That said it is still a WH so I love it all the same! I still use mine to mow. I found that the key to getting a decent cut was mow it while it is not too high. If you wait until it is too high it will look like you just hayed a field after using it!

Buy a new aftermarket carb for under 20$ on eBay and will save you lots of Hassel. I have one that was doing the same.

      The time has come for me to part with my trusty Wheel Horse and find it a new home. I am the second owner (since 2003) and it has always been stored in a garage.
      I am located about 20 minutes south of Rt 80 or 15 minutes north of Rt 78 near Rt 33.
       
      1975 C-120 Special, 8-speed (Model 1-0375, Ser. # 133357). Running (no smoke) 12 hp Tecumseh (Model HH120-120180E, rebuilt 1986). Rebuilt carb, new fuel pump, and new ignition module (in 2006). Good used replacement tank, original tank is included in the sale.  Brand-new battery, fuel filter, and shutoff valve installed 5/26. The transaxle case broke a small piece off (about 1” long by 1/4” wide) on one side of the center flange and was repaired with JB Weld.
      Solid 42” side discharge deck (Model 5-1010) bearings replaced in 2005. Extra set of Gator mulching blades and spare hi-lift blades included. Deck works as it should and is ready to cut.
      42” snow/dozer blade (Model 86-42BC01) with Rear weights, tire chains and hardware. Blade angles left and right and lifts correctly and is ready to plow.
      Parts: 4 NOS belts and 2 good used belts, NOS taillight lenses, used starter, used ignition module, more (see pic).
      1975 C Series Owner’s manual, 1975 WH accessory catalog, 5-1010 deck manual, original HH-120 manual, updated Tecumseh HH-120 technicians handbook.
       
      Selling entire package for $325 Or Best Offer - Deck/Blade/Weights/Parts alone are worth that!
       
      Will deliver within 50 miles of zip 18064. Delivery over 50 miles is negotiable.

      I have redone most electrical components and fuel of this kohler K341. new spark plug, coil, starter, battery, rectifier, Carb, rewired, but i have not done points. it starts up great idols fine. when I turn the throttle up it rises up to a certain RPM then starts to seize and puff black smoke and the throttle on the the carburetor jumps. Someone had told me it is backfiring and said i need to adjust the my air to fuel ratio. started messing with the governing arm and spring and thought it was helping but hasn't fixed it. any suggestions?

      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?
