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

I have an older Ariens mower with a Tecumseh 5.0 motor (VLV500003) that has expired.  I'm looking for a bolt-on replacement...it has a 1" diameter shaft with a 2 5/8" length with splines on the shaft...any recommendations would be appreciated.

Oh Yeah....
And my personal opinion is a tecumseh over a briggs and day of the week.
Based not on torque, special features or price, but on the engines that I have serviced in the past.
My personal favorite is the trusty work horse L-Head engine.

Hey 70chevrolet. You still have those track drive snowblower parts??

Lemme know.

Thanks
