Founded in 1914, Tillotson manufactures diaphragm, float and specialty carburetors designed for use on small engines. Throughout its history, Tillotson has made carburetors that are used for a variety of applications, from Indian motorcycles and Tecumseh lawn mowers to chainsaws and weed trimmers. Identification of Tillotson carburetors requires locating the model number stamped on the carburetor body, and referencing it to a Tillotson application chart to determine its original use. The Tillotson website contains charts and downloads to aid in the identification and specifications of Tillotson carburetors.
Step 1
Search the body of the carburetor to find the Tillotson model number. Since these are small carburetors, the model number may be separated into two sections and stamped on different locations on the body of the carburetor. Tillotson carburetor models include the HU, HE, HS, HL, HW and series.
Step 2
Write down the model number. Typically, Tillotson carburetor model numbers begin with a two-letter designation, such as 'HS' or 'HU,' followed by a position code, such as '158F' or '7A.' The first section is the carburetor model series and the second number is the specific carburetor designation within that series.
Step 3
Match the carburetor model number to the application chart found on Tillotson's website (see 'Resources'). When matched to this listing, the original application of the carburetor, along with the repair kit number, is identified. For example, 'HS-158F' is identified as an HS-158F model Tillotson used on an Alpina/Castor model '70' or 'P70.' The 'HU-7A' was used on an Andreas Stihl model '020AVPSEQ' chainsaw.
Research the Tillotson model number at the Tillotson website to find the specifications for each carburetor model.

| Ed Bouman | This is my 1968 Massey Ferguson MF-12 lawn tractor and I am looking for a piston, connecting rod, and crank shaft. Does anyone know where I can locate these parts to rebuild the engine. It has a 1968 Tecumseh HH120 12hp engine in it. |
| bontai Joe | The green one sure looks either one of a kind or purpose-built by a small specialty shop. It sure does not look like any name brand tractor I have seen before. Parts for your Tecumseh motor should be available at any small engine shop. but be sure to get what you need. Are you reboring the bore? then the piston and rings need to be oversize to match the new bore dimensions. What's wrong with the current crank in the motor? |
| Gus | Don't know what kind that green one is but man it sure looks cool! |
| jamie | Ed, did you purchase it or is it still for sale??? |

| Tim | Trying to identify the orginal manufacturer and year of this small lawn garden tractor. The tractor is painted green but I know that it is not a John Deere lawn tractor. It has a B & S engine. The orginal tractor appears to be painted orange w/ possibly a white engine. |
| Larry Lindloff | No picture yet, but please help me locate owners manual for the lawn tractor I bought today. Here is all I know about it: Label on side of machine says Cenex 18HP Hydrostatic. Tractor has been repainted and I'm not sure if this is the actual label for this tractor. Anyway, the model number on base below seat is 142996095. It could be 142995095, I cannot see the one diget clearly. From what I can see on the deck, it says it is a White deck, although I believe the tractor and deck to be a pair from the beginning. Briggs motor (18HP) code indicates year of 1980. The tractor has shaft hydro drive and live PTO type spline for deck, snowblower, etc. The tractor I purchased came with the deck mounted, and also included the snowblower. It seems to run fine but I cannot use it since the deck was installed incorrectly and does not move with the hydro lift. It appears lift cylinder is working properly as the unit has a 3-Point and that seems fine. No leaks, fluids are full. I need to figure out the proper installation of the deck so the hydo lift does what it should. Need owners manual at least. Help please! |
