Daron1965 644 #1 Posted August 18, 2018 Not sure if I am posting in the correct section. I have an older woodsplitter with a missing motor. For the price, I was thinking about putting a Harbour Freight motor on it. The Splitter was free to me, so I dont want to put alot of money into it. Does anyone have any dealings with them?

cschannuth 3,817 #2 Posted August 19, 2018 I put one my dad had in a 606 roller and I love it. It's the 212 cc and it is very powerful. It also always starts on the first pull. So far so good for mine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 57,904 #3 Posted August 19, 2018 Just be sure the crank shaft is correct for your needs. Lots of direct coupled pumps have a tapered shaft on the engine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daron1965 644 #6 Posted August 21, 2018 I'm surprised by the quality of these engines. Many videos on YouTube about these. Huge amount of aftermarket parts available for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
