Swapping a 5hp for an 8hp

Hi all, Thanks for all the suggestions for fixing my shearing issue. I have a new topic for dissicussion. I have a Ariens 5hp snowblower that works ok. The snowblower must be at least 25-30 years old. It has two levers one to put tension on the belt for the transmision and the other to engage the auguer into the spinning shaft. Question, I have a newer 8hp engine that I would like to mount in place of the 5hp. Could the snowblower handle the extra hp. I know I would have to do some retro fitting. Thanks is advance Emilio |

Hi borat, Would using a stronger bolt cause any internal damage to gear box or anything else. I'm not to knowledgable about the inner working of the snowwblower.

That's what I was thinking also. I believe I tried the 1/4" before and they didn't fit. Maybe the holes were not lined up just right.Thanks again.

Hi all, Thanks for all the suggestions. Went and bought some 1/4" Grade 5 bolts. Hopefully this should cure my problem. |

Hi Shyrp, Thank you for the quick reply. I am running in either 1st or second most of the time and nursing it around. Not forcing anything. It tends to get stuck alot. Most of the time just going straight. The pins look just like the pins at the parts store.
