Dear Gurus,I just bought a swedish made Belos 2-wheel tractor, probably from -70's. It has 14 hp MAG engine, made in Switzerland. At least this is what reads on engine's type plate. The manual anyhow claims MAG/ Tecumseh OH 160 as engine type. I have my doubts about the Suisse origin: All the bolts I have touched were inch sized and Switzerland is the most-metric country on this planet. The ignition module is Tecumseh for sure. Description: - horizontal shaft, vertical cyl, air cooled, 4-stroke, single cyl, OHV - 88x73mm = 453cm2 (type plate) - looking from flywheel: carb is in the left, exhaust port pointing forward (away), sparg plug is in the right side of cyl head. - engine has a high, square shaped valve cover with breather tube - there is a solid state ingnition module bolted with one bolt to (thin) flyweel cover, close to el starter. - engine has electric starter on its right hand side (opposite to carb) - oil pan is square box with drain plugs on both sides Since I don't came across with old Tecumseh engines daily in this corner of the world, I have this question: Is my MAG a license-manufactured Tecumseh? This would probably help me when hunting the spare parts. Regards Timo Honka Lempaala Finland Europe
