Greeting friends......just have a question ...Powershift related.......chime in Todd. I'm driving to pick up a Powershift 624 tomorrow....the owner says he was told it needs a carb, but he thinks it needs an engine......no biggie...$35... I'm not questioning the engine....my question....is the platform for the 624 the same as the 824....if it is ...has anyone done the Predator swap on a PS?....BTW I'm not a real fan of the lower hp Tec's....8 hp and above I'll put up with.....Thanks for the input, Brothers......
Thanks detrbuzzard .....I'm thinking a 212...as I've got a few in stock. I know on the Ariens I've repowered they took the place of an 8 hp without missing a beat. For whatever reason..the last few weeks, Powershifts have been coming my way. Two 824's, an 1132, and now this one. I love the platform....just can't convince the consumer that they are better then the Yardman I have for sale....***?????
They are the same pulleys are different, when you come down I have used 824 pulleys. The 624 has a 7/8 shaft. If you want i have a supee clean one ill let go for 25 in need of a motor
Just curious if you are planning to sell the 624 PS once you get it running, etc. (not that I am interested) I have thought that the 624's are not nearly as valuable as the 824's . . . just wondering if that will be an issue on the resale, even if you throw a 8 HP engine on there.
no Facebook.....I didn't need another project...but a complete machine for $35......I'm weak. Now I got no excuse for not starting my 33/36 Ariens projects.
well and update.......it turns out the owner got stiffed and the people that were going to show up and shower him with cash.....didn't.......I drove down and am the proud owner of a 624 Powershift. It's missing the carb, but has compression......might be able to save her......
Here you go Ted......It was missing the carb and heater box....the recoil was busted. I put a recoil and heater box from a ....blown up 5 hp Tecumseh.....I had in the blown up Tecumseh pile. A new Chinese carb, synthetic oil change, lithium grease, and top off auger gearbox.....and she is purring like a kitten....$35 for the beast, 12 for the carb, $5 for oil.......and another Powershift is ready to do BATTLE.
