Jim, you may move this if not in the proper spot.
Folks, could ya'll have a look around your junk piles, junk dealers etc. in yer area...
Those that come to my forum know that on Fri. 13th. I blew my tiller engine.
here's a picture of the ol' brute. She's about 40 years old
The motor that was on it originally was a Tecumseh 8 h.p. (1977)
the motor that blew on me...
8 h.p. Horizontal shaft Briggs and Stratton
MODEL
190402
TYPE
1650-01
CODE
77083119
Now, I can purchase a new motor, but it may look outa place:
but it'll be like strappin' a jet engine on a crop duster
Looks like the shipping would be bout 60 bucks for a new one, coming from Ca.
I have found a few 8 h.p. motors around here, but this is snowblower country and snowblowers don't have air cleaners...so additional parts would be needed.
Thanx Pholks
