Where to buy new engine?

[lars11]

Looking to buy a replacement engine for a portable winch. It should have same rotation and size as a chainsaw but I would rather find a generic engine without the chainsaw handle and extras. Where to look? Have found lots of 4 stroke replacement engines for lawnmowers and stuff but nothing that would fit this one. A trimmer replacement with the correct rotation would be great, but where??
It is an old Techumseh that almost rattles inside. Must have been run without oil sometime.

Hi,

first place Id check, is either a Farm supply store, or try and find a dealer that repairs equiptment that uses Techumseh engine.

Thats too bad, theyre pretty tough motors.

You could look into having your current one rebuilt as well. I'd dig around and try and find a decent small engine shop first

Rebuild it yourself. Not rocket science and the project will give you some new perspective.

Agreed! Get the serial number and then head to jackssmallengines.com (or other similar places) and order parts! Rebuilding a small engine can be a fun project.

This place has some wicked deals here and there: https://www.surpluscenter.com/engines.asp?UID=2009070212063735&catname=engines Other than that eBay, Harbor Freight tools or PepBoys are options.

Maybe a local small engine repair shop or dealer could be of assistance. Don't believe there are any Pep Boys or Harbor Freight in Sweden.

Didn't catch the Sweden detail! That being the case. eBay is your friend.

Well, I tried to identify it but no luck so far. The details on the aluminum tag says:
"1575
Tecumseh
7566671"
I posted some more info on:

If I could find a drop in engine I would buy it. But I am prepared to fit another engine to this winch.
