A heads up for anyone looking to do a engine/power upgrade, they don't go on sale very often, new quality machines are expensive (they also come with the same basic engine).
An economical way to refresh an old machine: snowblower, go cart, log splitter, mini bike.
I installed one last year on my 1979 John Deere 826 snowblower I used on my snow removal route, awesome power and torque and was reliable. Can also be directly swapped with many vintage equipment. Feel free to get in contact if you need the motor installed or discuss fitment for your project.
