Trying to help my dad find a replacement for his log splitter engine. He has a Huskee 650 series 22 ton splitter and the engine is held together by ratchet straps and bungees at the moment. Feels like you're going to tear it apart when starting, and won't start in cold weather. He's had it and has otherwise maintained it well for at least 10 years.
I read on another thread here about the Predator engines from HF being good replacements but I want to make sure I'm looking at the right thing. Looking for as close to a direct swap as possible.
Can you tell me if this is vertical or horizontal shaft? It looks vertical to me but all the replacements I see on HF's website are vertical so maybe I'm not understanding it right.
If it is a 6.5 hp replacement does the displacement matter? They have a 212cc engine but this one is 190cc. I can't see that being a big deal, but I'm certainly no expert here.
Anything else I need to look for or get with this?
