Hooked Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) A friend of mine has an Ariens snow blower. This past weekend his motor seized on it, ownly 3 years old. So he is in the market for a new engine for it. I figure with all the knowledgeable people here, someone might be able to point me in the right direction to locate a new one for him. Preferably in Canada. Here are the specs on his snowblower: Aarons Engine: Tecumseh Model: TH139SP 7HP - 139cc's 2 cycle Horizontal shaft Any help would be appreciated.

"Seized the motor", that's why they have a dipstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooked Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 2 cycle...I doubt that, unless your buddy has thrown the manuals and warranty papers away, it will give a list of all the repair facilities. "Seized the motor", that's why they have a dipstick. My buddy said for sure its a 2-cycle, and there is no dipstick with it. He said its a 50:1 ratio for oil:gas. He said other things, but I won't mention that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiel Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 ....I mentioned this before when BigCliff was hunting down stuff but I threw away a perfect running 5 horse Tecumseh (horizontal shaft) after years of not being able to give away. Go figure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I have an old Iron-Horse with a kick start that Grandma used on her washing machine A 2 stroke on a snowblower? Hmmmm. Maybe, but it seems unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazybum Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I get my snowblower and chainsaw parts from Alpine in Scarborough. Not cheap but convenient for me. http://www.alpinelawn.ca/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERCHER Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Yup its a 2 stroke single stage blower.And its probably cheaper to fix what you have than replace the motor. Here is a link to the owners manual. http://publications.ariens.com/manuals/00447600_fra.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Well by gawd it is a 2 stroke, didn't think Ariens would fool around with 2 stroke stuff, almost looks like a rebadged Toro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said other things, but I won't mention that. Probably explains why it seized. He's been putting the oil in the gas instead of the crankcase. I can't say I've ever heard of a 2-stroke blower.

I take that back. I have now seen a 2-stroke blower. I suspect it's not really Ariens built, as someone else suggested. I don't think I've ever seen a single stage Ariens before, and I used to sell 'em. They show two models on their website now. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
