Hustler engine recommendations

[ColoradoDave]

I just purchase a hustler/sidewinder and I need a new engine. There is a worn out Sears single cylinder in it now which is not the original engine. I feel that I should go ahead and get at least something 16hp or up. Anybody have any recommendations? How difficult is it to install a new engine?

thanks

I would recommend a minimum of 20HP since you are upgrading. Are you looking to purchase new or find a used motor??

As far as new, Tulsa Engine Warehouse has really good prices on new motors...plus there is no tax or shipping charges.

I bought my 20HP Honda from them, and have been really happy so far. More HP would be nice, but it gets the job done. I would not want anything smaller though.
