What is this piston for?

[Mark71gtx]

I just got a bunch of NOS Homelite, McCulloch, and Husqvarna parts last weekend. I have a loose piston in there that I have no idea what it is for. I have attached a few pictures. Any ideas?

Looks heavy. No guesses though.

Small engine piston? Tecumseh or b&s?

Possibility. The guy worked on small engines too. There were Clinton and B&S parts too. I didn't buy them though...

It's possible that it's for a pm (power machinery) models ranging from the 270 to the 371.

It's definitely not a two stroke piston, the boottom ring is for oil control as evidenced by the drain holes in valley.

I have a piston out of a push mower eng, it has the 3 rings, one is the corrugated oil ring

I was hoping it was for some oddball saw. Oh well. Probably scrap metal, lol...

It's an old one alright .Looks like it might be cast iron and very thick rings .Perhaps an older low speed engine.

looks like a a lawnboy C, D piston they used a 3 ring piston.
might be a power products,clinton,lauson piston.

There were a lot of Clinton parts as well.

There were a lot of Clinton parts as well.

all the power products, lausen, clinton are/where predecessors to the tecumseh engine lines.
there was a lot of similarity of the product lines.

There were a lot of Clinton parts as well.

I had a couple pistons like that in my home lite stash that were for generators/water pumps.
