Re: Craftsman model 88870 snowblower with 7hp Tecumseh discontinued?

Chewy, Thanks for the info. Yes that was the model # I was referring to. I bought a returned unit in late December as Sears would not sell the floor unit, got lucky I guess. And the sales rep, stated they couldn't get anymore units as they were "done" for the year. Not that CT has been overwhelmed with snow this year, but Dec. seemed a little early to "close" the selling season on snow removal equipment. Now that I have the headlight working on my unit, I'm ready for the weekend snow event! Thanks again for the reply |

Craftsman model 88870 snowblower with 7hp Tecumseh discontinued?

Can anyone comment on whether this particular model has been discontinued and if so why? Was the product line-up too diverse at Sears and they just cut back on models? Thanks, Matt |

Re: OH195SP fuel line

I have a Craftsman with the OH195SA and the fuel line runs behind the air baffle (metal piece behind the flywheel) and over to the carb. I've had the blower housing off a few times as I've been working on a headlight / flywheel issue and this is where the fuel line is located. I've just picked up a tach/hour meter which I'll be installing this afternoon and will try to snap a picture for you and post it.

Re: Flywheel swap

Mech, Thanks for the reply. The model is OH195SA (OHSK70 - I believe) which should be the 7HP. I have both alternator's and trying to determine if the flywheel end of the crank is the same for the prior part numbers listed. It seems the 611093 and 611094 are applicable to the 9HP and higher. I'm not willing to let go of $160 for a new flywheel, but have found the 611093/611094 used for $60. I called my local dealer today and they want $160 for the OEM replacement and would have to order it, but couldn't tell me if the part had magnets. I can the used part here in 2 days but don't want to "waste" $60 and have a engine that doesn't start/charge. |

Flywheel swap

Can anyone tell me if part # 611216, 611234 and 611093 can be enterchanged? The first two are for an OHSK70 and the last is from an OHSK90. I'm trying to ID the correct flywheel for use with a 5-7hp Tecumseh and 18W alternator. All the diagram's I've found show 611216 being used with the 18W alternator but there are no magnets on the inside of the flywheel on the one I have. Thanks, |
