Achto 27,597 #1 Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) I acquired this L106 Right purty, isn't it. Any way, it has had an engine transplant. I have looked around on the net trying to find out what size the engine is and have had no luck. Found 10hp as well as 7hp. Of course some one painted over the engine plate, so this helps me out tremendously. The model number on the engine is 143-659012. Can any one tell me the size of this engine from the model number??

If I had a dime for every post I screwed up, I could buy a Starbucks coffee. I don’t have all those dimes, but I don’t like their coffee anyway.

Ed Kennell 38,203 #10 Posted September 20, 2022 Is the fuel line thru the blower shroud unique to Tecky. All mine had that. If so, makes a quick easy way to ID Teckys. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,828 #11 Posted September 20, 2022 Somewhere in this mess of a phone I got pics of the model # on that beast... see if I can find it but pretty sure it started with 143. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. It's low man on the pole so it might be a while before I get into it. No worries though Duct Tape, Zip Ties & Dreams will turn it into some thing.
