This is Part 1 of the engine preparation of one of the LCT 179cc 4.8 HP horizontal 3/4" output shaft engines sold online for $49.95. I bought a few of these engines and this one is for "The Killer Tiller!" OK it's just my old garden tiller but I call it the "Killer Tiller" because it sounds better.

Upcoming engines: I'll be doing a disassembly and review of the Anbull 223cc engine available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/AnbullHorizon...
Is it like the Predator 224 or Wildcat 223 engines? We'll find out.


In this video we'll cover a brief history of the LCT engines and some info I researched about the company. We'll do a little prep work on the engine to get it ready to install it on my garden tiller. We'll remove the side cover and a few internals, measure and inspect the camshaft and remove about 5mm from the dipper on the connecting rod. After checking things out and reinstalling the modified components we'll reassemble with red threadlocker and torque everything back to specs.

I'm trying to keep the length on the videos down as best I can but it does take time to do the work, so I decided to split this one up into two parts.

Again, this one is for my garden tiller but with the 3/4" horizontal shaft the 179cc LCT engine would be an inexpensive replacement for almost anything that uses a small horizontal shaft gasoline engine. Minibike, Go Kart, Small projects oh and of course they were intended for use on snow blowers. So if you need to replace that tired Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Tecumseh or even Predator engine these LCT engines are an economical choice. A warranty is included and the LCT engines are serviced at Lauson Product dealers. Anywhere Tecumseh parts and service is available. Though with the modifications I've done in these videos I'm pretty sure I've voided my warranty already.

Where can you find the LCT 179cc $49.95 engine?
These are available at Surplus Center in Lincoln Nebraska. They have a website at:
https://www.surpluscenter.com/

Surplus Center also has a store at the Bay place named "burdensales" and I've ordered some there as well. The shipping is a couple of bucks cheaper.

I'm not sponsored or affiliated with Surplus Center in any way but I do give credit where credit is due and they have a good price on these engines.

You can also find some videos on the LCT 179cc engines from the guys at ‪@azlongtales‬ It's a great channel and I'm subscribed too!

Thanks, Chris
