I recently took delivery of a dismantled Tecumseh H60 engine that powered an Ariens rotary hoe. The engine has a camshaft PTO in addition to the usual crankshaft driven PTO.

I was assured all the parts were in the box. Yes, they were, but not in a condition to recondition and reassemble.

Here is the con-rod assembled on the bench, but as you can see, it is not ready to work because it is broken into several pieces.

The little end is still on the gudgeon pin in the piston.

The governor was also in the box, but part of it's mechanism is broken.

All the other parts are present, but by no means ready for reassembly! A challenging restoration job will be needed using hard to source OEM and aftermarket parts. I'll keep you posted as I am keen to make this rare engine run again.
