I have a old 25 ton Yard machine log splitter which needs a new engine. The original engine was a 6 horse G&S a friend gave me a 5 horse B&S from a lawn mower. The shaft sizes are differnet and I understand I would need to change the lovejoy coupling on both the pump and the engine.
It has an 11gpm pump.
Questions:
How much slower will it run with the 5 horse engine?
If I find a 8 or 9 horse engine how much faster will it run?
What would need to be modified with the larger engine besides the anchor points?
Thanks Rob
