Do you happen to still have this engine, my carburrettor is no good also the voltage charging regulator is missing. Been trying to get one in the UK wothout success.
im sad to say i scraped this engine because 25 years in the weather with no sparkplug is kinda rough on it.it is running now with a briggs oposed twin 16 with strait pipes. i havent even painted it. i call it the beast or the rat tractor depends on what mood im in
@autohead44 My redcat (chinese 4wheeler) sat in my back yard for two years without plugs. Brought it to the garage, put gas in it, battery crank, crank twice...and fired up.
take the head off and put hot motor oil in the cylinder and let it sit for about 5 to 6 mins then try to turn it over but be careful cause you might break the piston rings work it nice and easy bit by bit it may free. if it does then take the oil out of cylinder and dry it completely.
looks like an old kohler engine to me we got a wheel horse with an engine that looks bout like that with the side shaft belt drive and same carb set up to.
Theres a Davidsfarm video that shows you how to hone your own cylinders with a hand drill, cutting stones, and a shop rag. All you need are probably rings...
@Searsnut11 So roper built the Sears Suburban, I just received a ST 12 for free it runs but needs a carb, I also have a 16 Twin coming from the same guy also for free. I am into Cub Cadets and John Deers, but I like anything old. Oh and free.
Your Craftsman machine has a 16hp tecumseh engine. Probably craftsman engine model number: 143.660012. The equivalent Tecumseh number is OH160.170051. I just took those numbers out of my original manual.
I am the original owner of my machine since the mid 1970's. I use it every week. It has a 48 inch mower deck, 36 inch rear rototiller and a 46 inch snow and dirt blade. I'm not sure if it is a great engine but it has sure been good to me. Has an upper and lower range 3 speed transaxle.
Some Tecumsehs were junk, but not that one. That is an HH series cast iron engine, and they are good engines; well worth fixing. Take a look at my channel for my Sears Suburban with Tecumseh HH120 (12 hp) that was locked up when I got it. I got it running for less than $20!
It is a tecumseh, unbolt the head and pour some diesel fuel in the cylinder. Rig the fuel lines, replace the wiring as it will probably need it, freshen the oil and filters and it should fire right up.
Yes it's a Tecumseh....did ya'll know MOPAR built small engines back then ?? I have two of them,a 5 and an 8 HP.Both of them came of of Sears tractors.
One would know that in proper english typing, a sentence begin with a capital letter on the first word, "youre" must be typed "you're", "its" typed "it's" because it means "it is". And then finally, "i" must be a capital letter when you mean the 1st person. I'm not english, I use to speak french and I know that. Just so you know! :-)
its a tecumseh kohler did not make a solid state ignition back then they used points and sears only put tecumseh on there garden tractors back then exept the ss16 which had a onan twin this is a st16
this is deff not a kohler. didnt kohler start making solid state ignition in the early 80s. because that is when they came out with magnums. magnums were the stop of all points. and then went to pressurized oil systems and solid state ignition.
yep its a techumseh 12hp and the tractor is a early 70's sears surberan. i know this because when i was growing up my dad had the same thing and now i have it and its the best little tractor ever
IT IS a Techumseh I got 2 one is on a pull mower i made And it pulls Damn goog too..if you would like to see it """go to ::little george pulling::it pulls in the 900LBs class..Good motor !!!!
Yep! that is a sears with a tecumseh. overhead valve. really horrible engines! but cool tractor man, you should get it going, we have 2 sears going right now, and they rip some serious stuff up! kinda suck with traction for some reason. pull alot of one leggers, but still fun in the mud!
Its a Sears Sub. Good little tractors.
