troy bilt chipper,
July 20, 2009
By justmarvie
from seneca, sc
"Replaced the tecumseh 3 hp motor on my 20 year old junior tomahawk chipper with this engine after the connecting rod broke on the tecumseh. The chipper has never worked so well. It was definitely under powered with the tecumseh TroyBilt deserved to go belly up for selling such an under powered chipper. Had to enlarge the base mounting holes on the chipper for the engine. The shaft holes matched perfectly. It was definitely worth putting a new engine on the chipper. My only concern now is if I have over powered the chipper. The Briggs & Stratton starts everytime on the first pull."

B&S 5.5 HP HORIZONTAL ENGINE,
November 18, 2008
By MIGHTYDOG
from SUBURBAN PHILADELPHIA, PA.
"I recently purchased this engine as a replacement for the oem 6.0 HP engine on my little wonder leaf blower. Before making the purchase, I e-mailed the Northern technical department several times regarding certain dimensions and specs that were not described in the on-line catalog.
Based on these answers (thanks, representative #235), I made the choice.
The engine arrived within 5 days of purchase. It was the exact match to the engine it replaced. every hole lined up, and installation was a breeze. And, IT STARTED ON THE FIRST PULL !!!
Thanks, Northern for a superior product and service."

Briggs & Stratton Intek Horizontal Engine -- 5.5 H,
April 15, 2008
By 734richardd
from Ann Arbor, MI
"I had to replace an ancient "Wisconsin" air-cooled engine on a woodsplitter I was rebuilding. I looked at several makes and models, and this 5.5 HP Briggs engine was perfect for my needs, AND competitively priced. I liked the fact that the oil fill and oil drain plugs are on BOTH sides of the engine, ensuring that one side will be accessible when the engine is installed in its application.
The aluminum construction of this engine allows it to weigh less than half what the old, cast iron engine did. Just hope it is durable enough to handle the vibration it will endure on the splitter."

Briggs & Stratton 5.5HP 1" Shaft Engine,
February 14, 2008
By MotorDoctor
from Lancaster, PA
"Dollar for Dollar this is a fine engine. As a replacement for an 18 year-old Tecumseh engine on a chipper, it fit and worked fine. The B & S does not have an oil fill dip stick but the tube and stick from the Tecumseh fit perfectly in the plastic plugged hole in the crank case, even the brace screw fit in a pre-drilled hole and the gas tank had a moulded in recess for the tube. Now the engine oil can be checked (a new "full" mark had to be stamped into the dip stick) and refilled easily. It started on the first pull."

Good Engine,

"The engine does not come with an oil level stick, and is difficult to fill with oil once installed. The price and performance compensate for these short commings."

Perfict Fit,
November 16, 2006
By Georgesapposel
from Western Mass 15 acres of dense woods, leafs galore
"After a long search for a motor meeting the exact specifications for a leaf blower application I found the right engine at Northern Tool. Local sources could not match the price. Delivery was quick and ontime. Instalation was a snap and it's a perfict fit. The blower is working like new and the money saved enabled me to purchase a top of the line backback blower.
The fall leaves have met thier match.
Thanks for the great service Northern"
