Hi all, I have a Deutz-Allis 828 ,was having carb problems just ordered a replacement but have been looking at replacement engines as a backup. I see some of the engines are sold with no throttle control ,a seller says mount,pull cord and blow snow. Some of these are the Briggs and Stratton snow series engines I saw some of these engines on lawnenginesurplus.com , would they work? Thanks Kensico
Just measure the important things of your engine and then look at the diagrams of the replacement engines. It would be best to get something with the same crankshaft diameter, height and length as well as the same mounting pattern where it bolts on the tractor. The new OHV engines tend to be a little wider than the flat heads so you might run into issues on the left side of your blower if your crank handle goes through there.
Thanks for quick reply I am trying to find diagrams for my engine now regarding mounting holes I have a tecumseh hm80-155209K engine on it the LH358XA with 3/4" shaft looks like it will fit,e-mailed the seller it is a fixed speed motor with no throttle and was wondering about that part the no throttle.
Personally, I wouldn't want an engine without a throttle. I like to idle down sometimes without shutting the engine off. However, that's how a lot of machines are now - full throttle only. It's your call.
Not sure if you are firm on a winter engine, but a lot of people (including myself) have repowered with the Harbor Freight Predator engines. They do the job, and the 6.5 hp motor has plenty of power and is incredibly affordable at $99 with a coupon.
I have re powered quite a few old machines with the 6.5hp greyhound and a couple with the 11hp greyhound and all ran very well. I bought a supply of the 6.5hp greyhounds cheap when they were blowing them out near the end.
I would have no issues re powering with a predator engine.
I just did a repower for a family member. I replaced an 8hp OHV Briggs with the 212cc Predator on a 27" Craftsman. The blower took a full bucket of 24" deep snow in 2nd gear and kept its stride. I wouldn't blame you for going bigger, but the 212cc Predator wouldn't leave you under powered.
I repowered a 2008 Troy Bilt Storm 2410 and 1987 Toro 521 with the 212cc Predator engine. Both machines run perfect. Would do it again if I have the chance
Those Princess Auto 7hp (208cc) winter engines are impressive. Just put one on my st824 Ariens, and I can honestly say that it kicked my 8hp tecumseh's butt.
Kensico, you should add a location to your profile so it pops up under your screen name. Comes in handy for someone offering advise on something that might only be available in a certain local. Like a great deal on a used engine off craigslist or parts machine near where you are. Just a thought.
Thanks for advice,will do, I just took gas tank off and there was ice on bottom��!!! Cleaned it out and put a new hose with a inline fuel filter and new carb added Seafoam and some gas and it started on first pull �� engine sounded good ,so hopefully it stays that way. I am gonna buy a predator engine when they go on sale (leave it in garage just in case) ,thnx for the info everybody , it should mate up easy if I ever need it 3/4" shaft and 1 pulley just like my tec
i repowered my 1986 toro 824 38080 with a honda clone(an exact copy) and it has plenty of power, even in deep heavy snow. the only thing i did to mine was bore out the jet a bit so it didnt surge
