Here is a project that I am working on with my son. I am using an old rototiller for the frame and drive. The engine I bought at an auction a few years ago and had to rebuild the carberator, replace the fuel line, and put a spark plug in it. It now runs pretty good.

I do need help to identify the engine. It says Lauson Power Products Grafton Wis. on the carberator. The model number is HS50 - 67040B and serial number is 5182B. Anyone know how many horsepower and what year this is. I did find that lauson was bought out by tekumsah. Im thinking the year of this engine is around the 50's or 60's but would like to know excactly what year it was made.

I'll post more as I do more.

I managed to find out some of what I wanted. HS50 means horizontal small frame, 5.0 horsepower. 5182 means it was built on the 182nd calender day of 19?5. Anyone know which decade? It appears at a quick glance like newer HS50's except for the glass sediment bowl, could it have been added by someone off of something else?

I believe it is an obsolete 5 hp Techumseh

I would bet either 1965 or 1975 more likely 1975
