Anyone familar with these? Can you still get parts for the Tecumseh HH70 engine?


It is mounted on a Ariens Rocket VII tiller, it "appears" to be very heavy duty and in decent shape - anyone use this type of tiller?

You can get most parts and many other engines will fit in its place. We sold Ariens Rockets new. Much better tillers than Troy Built - but I guess Ariens did not market them as well. Ariens also made big, truck-farm sized tillers. Nice thing about the Rocket is you can disengage the tiller drive without disengaging the wheel drive. You can't do that with a Troy Built.

The HH engine has the same footprint as the aluminum engines you often find on snowblowers. But the HH used OEM on the Rocket is cast-iron and also has a hardened exhaust valve and tapered-cone adjustable bearings for mains on the crankshaft. Troy Built used the same engine on several tillers - along with Briggs and Kohler.

The big HD Ariens tillers were Model As, Bs, A-Transamatic, and TA Multimatic made from the 1930s to the 1950s.

Model A used Wisconsin AAH engine
Model B used Wisconsin AHH engine
Model C used Wisconsin AFH engine
Model D used Wisconsin TF two-cylinder engine
TA20 used Wisconsin AEN, 8 horse
TA20A used Wisconsin AEH, 9 horse
TA28 used Wisconsin TF, 2 cylinder 16.5 horse
TA28B used Wisconsin TH, 2 cylinder, 16.5 horse
Gardener used Briggs Model 8 engine, 2.5 horse
Yardster used Briggs Model 6 engine, 2 horse
Junior used Briggs Model 6, 2 horse
Jet series used Briggs or Tecumseh 3 - 5 horse
Rocket - came out 1960 with 5.5 horse Tecumseh
Rocket VI - came out 1964 with 6 horse Tecumseh

The smaller homeowner tillers included the Gardener G2, Yardster, Junior, Jet, Super Jet, Deluxe Jet, Rocket, and Rocket VI.

There appears to be to "clutch" handles on the guard covering the tiller tines - should shese move "freely" when the engine is not running?Link

Thanks>Link for the feedback.

I saw a Ariens tiller at a swap meet that had a Wisconsin vertical twin of the TF, TH, THD family. This was a obvious FACTORY unit. I was so blown away I had a camera and I forgot to take a picture. Does anyone know about this unit or was this just a BAD DREAM.
