Anyhoo TJ and EB let's edumatacate you. Teckys were a lower priced motors in the day regardless of specs. Old man Kohler didn't build a world class golf course without beating Lauson did he. His engines were touted in the day as best in class for the buck. Oems had a different take they wanted a cheaper motor aka teckys. At least for their " budget " line. Boxes still sold even back then. Many OEMs went with Tecumseh as they were cheaper than Kohler's. If the OEM was a buck cheaper on every tecky motor they bought over Kohler and say they bought 10,000 motors how much would they save or in bean counter terms how much would they profit? Truth be told I have nothing personal against Tecumseh, my old man use to work there in their New Holstein plant. It's a parts thing nowadays to keep them running. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeremi3210 717 #55 Posted September 21, 2022 The old hh teckys aren't bad engines, when they are running good they are very strong but I will take a kohler any day. Dan does that tecky have points or solid state ignition? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basically aired up the tires, which by the way miraculously held air despite the huge cracks & missing chunks in the side walls. Then pushed it off the trailer. Hope to get a little time to look at it this weekend 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'tis money makes the world go 'round... I was a Briggs guy 'til I got into Wheelhorse. Now I have No doubt Kohler is the engine with the better reputation for long lasting. Parts are an interesting subject with the older Techs. Nowadays we know the carbs from easily obtained web sources that fit the OE Kohler can be adapted. Ignition can be rebuilt on big blocks with modern components. Not sure on small blocks. I'd be curious to see how availability is for internal engine pieces for the OHV160. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The scuff mark above the decal shows a too long belt was used at sometime.
