Re: 15hp honda clone in place of 10hp Tecumseh

Hi, Thanks, this looks very similar to what I'm going to do, I'll compare my chassis to yours and see if the dimensions are similar. Looks like a pretty slick installation, it must really chuck the snow! :) Ivan

This sounds similar to what I'm trying to do, would you have any pictures of your setup that you could post? Specifically I'm curious about how far back the engine has to come, it seems that I could trial and error it a few times, but a starting point would be very helpful. :) Thanks, Ivan
15hp honda clone in place of 10hp Tecumseh

Hi All, I have a 32" Sears snowblower frame that used to have a 10hp tecumseh. I got it as the engine had thrown a rod. I purchased a 15hp honda clone that I would like to use in it's place. The nice thing about the clone is that the shaft size is identical, so I can just swap the pulleys over. However, the block mounting dimensions and the shaft height from base is larger on the new engine than the old. I could just start cutting, drilling, and hacking to get it to fit, but does anyone have experience with this swap before that could provide details on the correct method to adapt it to fit? Thanks, Ivan
