This is a photo of my re-do on an 82 6HP Horse with the Tecumseh engine. This site inspired me to renovate it after 30 years of service. The engine is the Predator 7HP from Harbor Freight. Sorry America (I'm as patriotic as anyone) but this engine was $99.00 with coupon. The holes mounted perfectly. The only difference required a few more shims behind the drive pulley and the shaft end was tapped 5/16-24 instead of 3/8-not a big deal. This is my second experience with Chinese engines. In both cases the engine out of the box required only 1 pull and fired off. My first engine (on a pump) has never failed to fire on first pull. I love Honda engines (still not American) but I can go through 4 of these for the price of a Honda. The tires are Oregon at $25. each from Mowtown, USA - Great name.
I really appreciate this site and enjoy the comments of others and the results of their work.
