I have owned several yard items that had a Tecumseh engine, all were POS.
Actually my Cub does a good job as a yard vacuum, my biggest problem is the limited capacity of the bags and humping the contents onto the fire.
All of the yard vacs work about the same. The Cyclone's claim to fame is the flexible impeller and the attachment of the bin to the back of the mower. Bin is bolted to the mower and uses pneumatic (8") casters to support bin weight. I do think making the bin and mower one unit will be interesting to use as I have numerous trees.
I hoped that someone had a newer unit using B&S engines could supply a picture. There are several "Dealers" listed in Houston. I have never seen a local ad by them for Cyclone products. I need to give them a call and see if they have one one display.
I will use Sonny's suggestion on a heat shield as I have several 1/8 AL sheets that would work.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. If you have an Epiphany on my question please post.
