Moparfanforever 886 #1 Posted October 17, 2021 These two tractors were listed on CL as " Parts Tractors " , and the seller was right !! All i really wanted was the front spindles and front wheels , but there may be more parts i need. Made 125 mile round trip and bought them for $125.00. Dollar a mile. The guy says his brother has twenty WH tractors he is wanting to sell , oh my !! Big ole honkin 16HP , the owner says it runs , but not very well and smokes. Wish i could find some 8HP engines. The tractor and deck are pretty beat. Sorry for the blurry pic , but they even welded the lift handle to the tractor ??? I think this tractor is a hodgepodge of parts. At least there is some fresh painted wheels and new tires. Has a new seat , but it doesn't look very comfortable. Anyone know what this Tech motor is ??? The owner said it is a ten horse. I know nothing about Tech engines. If anyone might need anything off of it , hit me up. They would cheap or free. The old Ford did good , the big 300 six didn't even break a sweat. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rusty Tinsnips 477 #2 Posted October 17, 2021 I don't think Tecumseh made the overhead valve until 16HP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moparfanforever 886 #3 Posted October 17, 2021 I will go see if I can find any numbers on it , I guess that would help identify it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 9,348 #7 Posted October 18, 2021 If you take a refresher course from Kevin at Pull Hosen, he can guide you as how to load (overload??) the 20 on so you can get them all in one trip!! Bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill I second that. It's very similar to a clown car with twenty-five people exiting a 1980s Lada sedan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

71_Bronco 1,072 #10 Posted October 20, 2021 Nice score, and very nice truck. Always loved that body style. That price alone is worth it for the 16hp Kohler IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 5,767 #11 Posted October 20, 2021 I agree with Bronco I had a 91 f250 new. Only thing I hated on that truck was the 5 to 10 maybe gas mileage. Good luck on the tractors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moparfanforever 886 #12 Posted October 20, 2021 I need to go see about any numbers on the engine so maybe someone can identify it , if that helps anyone. I may take the pto stuff and solenoid off of it , but if anyone needs something off of it send me a PM. Or , if anyone wants to pick it up , it is free. From what I read on here , I guess these Tech parts are scarce and want to help out anyone who may need something from it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got one of those Tecumseh engine powered C160 now and maybe soon another.... Those are quite a unique engine obviously. Never experienced it personally but from what I've read, very good torque and power. The only common issue they ever had was the engine module going bad but now there's an easy fix for those thanks to @Ed Stoller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
