Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Engine, tecumseh engine, application engine

Question
Hi I have an 8hp Tecumseh Snow King engine. It is the HM80-155310M one. I'm having a hard time finding the engine model number. The number I'm looking for starts with 143. Would you know where I can find this number. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer
Hello Trevor:

>>The Numbers HM80-155310M is a Tecumseh Engine Model Number.
>>You can View a Breakdown/IPL of this Engine at this Site Addy, http://www.outdoordistributors.com/parts.html and Select the T. Then Select Tecumseh. Then Select Don't have Part Numbers. Then Enter the Model Numbers HM80-155310M. Then Select your Model and Download the File for Online Viewing.
>>The Only Difference between a Tecumseh HM80-155310M Engine Number and a Sears 143.?????? Number is that the 143.?????? Number Identifies the Engine as being used on Sears Equipment or the Engine was Built Specificately for Sears and the HM80 are a Tecumseh Engine Model Number that is Not an Engine that was Used on Sears Equipment.
>>If the Engine uses the HM80-?????? Numbers and it is on a Sears Unit, then the Engine May have been a Special Application Engine or the Engine was Changed and a Regular Tecumseh (HM80) Engine was Used to Replace the Old Tecumseh (143.) Engine.
>>With Tecumseh, you can use Both the 143 and the HM80 Numbers to Locate the Engines Breakdown and Order Parts.
>>If you Hit a Snag, have More Questions or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I Hope to be Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck
