Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I've purchased this snowblower today at a yard sale for $15.00.  Unfortunately, there are different pieces missing from the engine - so I figure it will be cheaper to just replace the engine (as I can't even identify what kind of engine it was).

What kind of details do I need to be aware of in order to replace this engine?  Obviously, I have to make sure the bolt pattern matches... but what else?

Does anyone have any suggestions as to a worthy engine replacement?

Thanks in advance!

The prime considerations will be the crankshaft length & diameter. Your old pulley will have to fit on the shaft in the proper location so that the belts are aligned. I would think any "small frame" Tecumseh Snow King engine should work out for you. Another consideration - does your engine have an auxiliary PTO shaft (2 shafts)? If it does, you will have a somewhat tougher search.
