Gene_S 93 #1 Posted April 23, 2010 Thursday on my way to Indy I stopped at the Strawtown Flee Market they have every week only on Thursday. I walked around and looked at the normal stuff and then I seen this jem... It was a 6hp Tecumseh motor... I restored my 500 Special last summer and have been meening to rebuild the motor I have for it. It seems like all the motors I find are worn out or blown. This motor runs darn good. I went and picked up a new drive belt at my local Toro store and installed the motor and the proper gas tank and throttle / choke bracket. I was so excited to drive it, I'll paint the motor later. You dont dare dump the clutch! Projects-Projects-Projects... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sorekiwi 761 #5 Posted April 23, 2010 Looks really good Gene! I really really wish I could finish some of my projects, I havent touched my Special since last summer, and then I stole the engine that I'd put aside for it a couple of weeks ago I think I'd be putting an inline fuel filter in there though... :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VinsRJ 721 #10 Posted April 24, 2010 Very nice! I lost out on a 500 Special last summer... I dicked around to long and it got picked. :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorekiwi 761 #11 Posted April 24, 2010 Good eyes Mike... Not really, when you said that Tucky ran well, I immediately wondered why the carb wasnt irreversably gummed up, and that got me looking. Also I changed out the filters on 3 of my tractors today, so its kinda on my mind. I like that motor in black! You sure you want to paint it? I sat a brand new Tecumseh LH195 on one of mine last year and liked that in black too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #12 Posted April 24, 2010 Gene, the 500 Special looks good but, Where's the Tri-cycle? Hint,Hint,Hint. Thats the one I would like to see come out of the stable finished. Ready, set, go. Do you go to Jones swap meet in a few weeks. Maybe by then you can have it finished. Hint, Hint, Hint. See Ya, Bye Burly :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
