Not is, DID. Tecumseh ceased operations in Dec, 08. The parts business has been sold to an outfit in WI, they plan to provide parts only, no complete engines. Were the engines that bad? No, not really. Everybody seems to have a horror story about a Tecumseh engine, but generally those were the cheapest engines, mounted on the cheapest equipment. There's no doubt that Tecumseh did build a cheaper engine than Briggs, and they did have the lion's share of that market. But Tecumseh could build good engines too. What about all those snowblower engines they built? Most 2 stage snowblowers were Tecumseh powered. I'm always hearing from some guy who has a 30 year old Ariens snowblower, and is bragging about how it always starts, or that it still has the original engine. You can't say those engines weren't any good. Now I guess it will be up to Briggs to power everything. Them or some Chinese POS. The Chinese engines (like that come on the new Cub Cadet snowblowers) are really scary. Some are good, some not, and some aren't so bad except you can't buy parts for them, which makes them worthless in my book.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
