Replacement for a Tecumshech OH195SP engine
Original Message Nov 10, 2010 7:57 pm |

In January of 2006 I purchased a Ariens 7524e with a Tecumseh OH195SP-73503C engine. Last winter one of the oil plugs backed out while I was clearing my driveway and the engine siezed. The engine is toast. the body of the Snowblower is in excellent condition so I am trying to find a replacement engine for the blower. The problem is this engine has the PTO. Does anyone know of a replacement engine that can be fitted to the body without doing too much fiddling.
Thanks

A louzy pickle. I’ve been looking for subs myself so snooped around. Nothing at Jackssmallengine, Smallenginewarehouses and a few others. I was pointed to Briggs but they are close to dropping all dual shafts and none in winter engines. There is one Briggs 6hp for a tiller that would work which is $375. Tecumseh has dropped your engine but currently lists 907367 as its replacement which may not be in production yet or a fantasy. You could call Tecumseh at 800-558-5402 to check. The replacement lists at $464 so probably not an option. Your Ariens is probably a 932041. Those came with a standoff support for the crank chute gear head so out of the way. Your tractor base will probably have room and holes for an 8hp L-head. The old Tecumseh should have the same base hole dimensions as 8hp Tecumseh. You can mount L-head dual shaft engines as a replacement. I don’t think any new ones are available but you could stick on a used engine. MTD used dual shaft engines at least from the 80’s to approximately 2008. (None of the new MTD OHVs that I checked were dual shaft. ) You could buy an MTD engine or complete snowblower with a problem to get an engine. All the older models will be dual shaft. If you came across a newer model you could check the engine type at ordertree to see if the engine is the right type. Get the snowblower factory number and check it at the ordertree site below. The site will list the engine number but you can tell from the drawings what the shaft arrangement is. http://www.ordertree.com/modelinfo/MTD/62.1.html An 8hp MTD will probably have a 1 inch crank. If your engine is ¾ then you’ll have to get another pulley but the 8 may come with a match. There might be a small difference in crank height which would probably be ok but the distance of the PTO might require a belt size change.

Thanks for the replies,
Closest I've found is the Briggs 12D393-0018 ($500) or 15D194-0018 ($570) but these would require belt changes so I be in another 600 bucks or so. Can't see spending 600 buck to refurb a blower I got for $600.
Guess I bite the bullet and get a new blower.

12R1930110E1 Briggs Powerbuilt Snow 5.5hp (used on 932043) 12D1930111E1 Briggs Powerbuilt Snow 7.5hp (used on 932044) 15A1930118E1 Briggs Powerbuilt Snow 8.5hp (used on 932045) These are the 3 Briggs engine specs made for the 932,XXX platform. Maybe you could find one of these? There are some small idler mods that would be required to make them work. See the parts manuals. It isn't major. Also, if your Tecumseh is toast, couldn't you buy a non-camshaft PTO version and swap the cam and PTO cover with your old engine? Hmmm, your cam might be bad though... Trouts? PK
