ariens snow thrower engine swap?
I have an old Ariens "Sno Thro" (10965) snow thrower. It has a Techumseh 5hp Engine on it (H5065077H). I just recieved an 8hp Techumseh engine and want to replace the 5hp. The output shaft is the same height and it will fit on the machine. My question is if the transfer case, augers, and impeller are the same on the 5hp and 8hp models. Will my attacthment be able to handle the added torque?
It will work just fine all you might have to do is check the output shaft size. It probably will be bigger than the 5h.p. in that case all you need to do is get a pulley to fit the 8 h.p. output shaft just make sure you keep the same size pulley as original. Then you won't have to change belts.
