Wisconsin engine for chipper

[harryloy]

I have a mobark 2070 chipper with a 35 horsepower engine. The crank broke next to flywheel. Does anyone have a used motor (w4 1770 for sale) or one that would match my crank?

That is a problem. Wisconsin is long gone and I have not seen another air cooled in that horsepower range. You may need to go LC if you have the room on the machine

Canguy, Wisconsin is long gone? I was looking at New Wisconsin engines 8 months ago. Are you sure about your post?

That first link is a company that sells and services. http://www.wisconsinmotors.com/ is Wisconsin's web site.

I stand corrected. I am going to pass this on to our parts people. Nobody here, even our long time Wisconsin distributor, seems to know anything about it. Are they continuing to make parts for the Teledyne built engines?

I don't know what changes have occurred in the engines nor do I know if they are continueing to make parts for older models. Their site does mention a parts inventory in Tennessee.

I e-mailed these guys and nada. Are they in this seriously or is it a two-bit operation?
