engine identification

can any one help me identify the engine in my 1966 12hp suburban the engine name says craftsman the model no is 143 .622012 the serial no 2164e i think it could be made by tecumseh . is it possible to date the engine from these numbers . i do not think it is the original engine rgds carlo u.k

Carlo,

Serial number 143 .622012 is a Tecumseh HH120.
HH - Horizontal-Heavy Duty (Cast Iron)
120 means 12 horsepower, and yes that would be the correct engine for that tractor.
