LIGHTINGWhat to Know About Switching to LED Lightbulbs
If you’ve been thinking about changing over to LEDs but aren't sure how to do it and which to buy, this story is for you
Full StoryHelp me..I'm going crazy. I have an old Horse tiller purchased several years ago with an 8 hp Tecumseh Engine- now shot. It's a two speed with SN 189057 and a decal that says Model 2610, 5/87. I can find nothing with this model number or a SN in that range. Here's my problem, I just purchased a new Briggs 8 hp that was recommended as the most popular Horse replacement. When I started the change-out, I find that the Tecumseh has a 1" shaft and the new engine has a 3/4" shaft...now the engine pulley won't fit. I contacted Troy-bilt to see if I could buy a new pulley with a 3/4" hole and they said "no." I can return the engine, but there would be shipping costs both ways and possibly a re-stocking fee. I did check with a machine shop to see about sleeving the old pulley...a possibility at about $100. Two questions: what Horse do I really have and what's my best option with the pulley?
Any help would be appreciated.
