Hey Guys
I am wanting to repower my old 3.5 HP Tecumseh engine and was thinking about replacing it with one of the Predator 3 HP engines that Harbor Freight sales. Has anyone on here used these engines and can anyone tell me if it will bolt right up?. The mounting plate spacing appears to be 6.5 inches across and the shaft length is 2 1/4 inches with what appears to be a 3/4" shaft. This tiller has a crank pulley, one pulley on I guess is the can shaft and an idler pulley that mounts to a bracket that mounts to the crankcase. The HF specs on their website are of little help. Also, if it will fit, will the 3 HP (79cc) model be underpowered?
Thanks in advance for your help. Oh also, I am replacing a Tecumseh H 35 Series engine that is no telling how old.
