| Iam thinking of buying a used tomahawk chipper with a 6hp Tecumseh.Can I mount an 8hp Briggs on it or is there a gear ratio issue? |

| I can't give you an answer but I'm sure if you would check in with the small engine mechanics at www.perr.com you would find the information needed. |

| The engines for the Tomahawks are governed to 3600 RPM. So, yes, you should be able to use a larger engine. |

| Not sure if this helps any - I have a Super Tomahawk on loan from a family member. It has a Model 190402 8 HP B/S. The owners manual also includes the H50 5 HP Tecumseh that was also an option. I've been through the manual a number of times and I don't see any difference in the unit (outside of engine specific maintenance, etc.) other than in the assembly section for the 8 HP B/S the manual states that the "special engine mounting plate" must be used due to the extra performance and weight of the 8 HP engine. Not sure if you have the same vintage unit, but you might need the mounting plate to go to the larger 8 HP. |
