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

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

Thanks the international cargo to Finland for an engine is about 790-1200 USD ! Crazy! and all because of aircargosafety things for a non used engine...
