Need a new engine (Ariens)
Original Message   Oct 16, 2005 6:11 pm
I bought an old (~1970 had a H60 engine) Arien's snowblower from a neighbor a couple years ago and it threw a rod the end of last year. I took it all apart and decided that I replace the engine. But I accidentally threw away some parts that I needed (belt guard, engine sheave, belt, screws and belt fingers). Would it be worth it for me to try to replace all of these parts or should I just buy another used snowblower? I really don't want to spend more than $400.

Thanks

You can usually buy another used one for $75 with a blown engine.

I bought a new Intek Snow 7.5 for 4260.

There's a reason for more than one snowblower.

It sounds like you are mechanically inclined.  I would wait for another used Ariens for small money, although this might not be the best time of year for deals on used snowblowers. 

Garandman bought a new engine for $260.  You could probably find the parts you need from a local dealer used.  Maybe even a used engine.  Couldn't hurt to try. 

Good Luck
