I can only hope its not a Tecumseh engine. I have an Ariens 926LE thats only a few seasons old. It may have 15 hours total time on the motor. Motor detonated today with one loud metal to metal bang and seized. 1200 dollar machine
Now for the good news, since Tecumseh went out of business parts for and replacement motors are just not available. Went to several dealers today and all said that I am out of luck with being able to repair it. Called Ariens and they confirmed what the dealers said that there is not a replacement to fix it. Man I just find that so hard to believe. very nice looking piece of scrap iron. And there is not a new machine to be found anyplace. I was told that if it were a Kohler or Briggs and Stratton model no problem 4 to 500 and I would be back in business.
Anyone need and Ariens Boat Mooring?
How many days is it till spring?
