Hello all, new to the site and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
I have an old log splitter (it doesn't appear to have any markings but was told it came from Northern Tool).
Briggs and Stratton Model 190432 6035 01
8hp - horizontal shaft.
Long story short, engine seized, my fault (tighten the oil drain plug next time dooofus)
Anyway I would like to purchase an engine that is plug and play so to speak. I've searched the google and read a few threads on this site and cant seem to get any good info on a direct replacement even on B/S site. They apparently dont cross reference that far back. I cant seem to find out alot about the engine I have either, no spec sheet, everybody seems to have parts diagrams but I cant find the shaft size anywhere..
I'm not opposed to the 8hp predator motor but I know nothing about how to make it work with my splitter, if it will fit if the shaft is correct...
Any guidance would be appreciated
