| I am looking at Toro 826LE Snowblower 3 seasons old. Can someone know if this Tecumseh engine is a single or dual shaft. If dual shaft then I will offer less vs. for a single shaft. |

| The extended cam shaft engines have not been used for many years and certainly not by Toro. They were common on Ariens and others at one time. |

| Thank you for the info, The snowblower is around 70km from me The seller is driving to Toronto this weekend and is willing to drop it off. I will offer a few hundred more for a single shaft engine vs a dual shaft snowblower. |

Please tell me what the difference is between a single shaft engine, and a dual shaft engine--other than the obvious.
I have used both types, either in an application that requires a dual shaft set-up, or the single shaft. I have used a dual shaft engine where the second shaft isn't used, and everything worked out ok. I have also used a Troy-bilt Tiller that used the second shaft for reverse, and a small tiller that also had the dual shaft to run the tines. Please advise, as i haven't seen any ill-effects from using a dual shaft engine on a machine that didn't need the second shaft. |
