Re: Replacement snow engine for old Ariens Snowblower - Tecumseh, B&S, Honda?

The new pulley arrived today. It is installed on the shaft along with a longer belt. The original engine is shown for a side by side comparison. Note the increased size of the engine pulley. I am looking at incorporating a "Dead Man" belt tensioner as the auger and wheel drives on these old Ariens keep going if you let go of the handle bars while blowing snow. Thanks for your tips and suggestions.
6HP Tecumseh and 11HP Honda

Professor, The stepper idea sounds good. I had been planning on using the old crank with a 3/8" socket set universal welded in line to make the turn up from under the engine to the handlebars. I like your idea-it eliminates a lot of cranking back and forth. You may be interested in a similar idea from utube-it's awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBL3GxBduyU I'm still waiting for my new engine pulley. Regards, Steve |

Ariens snowblower engine upgrade. High performance Ariens snowblower.Check out this work in progress. Upgrading from a 6 HP Tecumseh to an 11 HP Honda! 
Had to relocate the motor mount studs. Needs a custom pulley as the new engine has a 1" dia shaft. 5" OD cast iron pulley on order from McMaster-Carr. More Later...
