Help me choose between these two Ariens snow blower!
Original Message   Oct 31, 2006 3:42 pm
My local dealer has the Ariens 7524E (7.5hp Briggs OHV Powerbuilt engine) and the 724E (7hp Tecumseh OHV Snow King engine) selling at the same price.  I read from this forum that most people are in favour of the Tecumseh engine.  The 7524E is last year's model and the 724E is this year's model.  Which one would you choose and why?

Good choice! I bought that same model last year and had a full winter with it and just cant find anything bad to say.I never used the electric start because it starts on the second pull without much struggle. Best of luck

I put a OHV B&S Snow Intek engine onto an older blower that I had blown the Tecumseh L Head engine on. There was a noticeable improvement in power. I suspect it was a combination of several factors but it is my understanding that the B&S OHV has slightly more torque than the equivalent Tecumseh. It could also be a matter of the difference between OHV and "L" head.

Overall I think you will be very pleased with your purchase.

The only thing that bugs me is that changing the spark plug is a pain.
