Yard sale find
« on: Aug 28, 2021, 07:25 PM »




Whenever I see a jiffy with 3 hp tecumseh at a yard sale I gotta check it out. I’m not gonna pay $200+ for them but if they’re in decent shape I’ll offer $100. This one was barely used the guy broke the recoil spring bought another recoil then he broke the housing on the new recoil. I was able to place the new spring in the old recoil housing, boom model 34 stealth stx. He was asking $100 I offered him $75 and he took it. 10” blades sell for $85 alone

Yeah I have a pair of 1-armed bandits. I find these 3 hp tecumsehs run like a raped ape on amsoil Sabre pro 100:1. Can’t imagine running on Dino at 24:1

Big Tecumseh fan here. Got an ancient John Deere snowblower with a 5 1/2 Tecumseh. It just keeps going. Nice find there!

Can't beat that with a stick. Big chief Tecumseh rules.
