Engine Replacement for Rototiller,
March 23, 2009
"I purchased this Briggs and Stratton Motor to replace a Tecumseh Motor that was on my Troybilt Tiller. This motor bolted on with know problems. It was simple to remove the old motor and bolt on the new one. I have used it for 1 year now and it still starts on the 1st or 2nd pull. It has enough power to till at the maximum depth that you can on a "Horse" model Troybilt tiller.
I would recommend this product to anyone replacing an engine on a Troybilt Tiller."

Old Log splitter - new life!,
April 22, 2008
"After having my old B&S 5HP engine die out and overhauled the previous year (at about 3/4 the price of this one) it still didn't run reliably.
I found this 6.5HP engine bolted right up in less than 30min and wow!! my old splitter had new life!! Well it's been about 2 yrs with the new engine and it still starts EVERYTIME.!!
My only complaint would be the cheap plastic fuel tanks that are not impervious to mice or squirrles, but hey....it was a fair price compared to Honda's w/ a metal tank."

Happiness is Briggs & Stratton,

"I purchased this 6.5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine as a replacement for an older 5.0 HP engine supplied by another manufacturer. The original engine had less than 50 hours run time when a broken camshaft sent it to the junk yard. I recieved the new B&S engine from Northern in less than a week.
Installation on my chipper took about 1.5 hours. Once mounted, I filled the crankcase and gas tank and pulled once on the starter rope. I was totally amazed, it started on that first pull. The ignition and induction systems on this OHV engine are the best I've seen in my 40 years of dealing with small engines of this type. After sitting throughout the winter, the spring start up still took only one pull. You couldn't buy this engine from me for 5 times the purchase price."

Excellent replacement engine,

"Purchased as a replacement engine for my wood splitter. It was 1/2 the price of a local one. Bolted right up and started on the first pull. I split 30 cords of wood with it this summer. Excellent price and value."

Restoration of Lawnmower,
October 8, 2007
"During the process of trying to find a suitable replacement motor for an old hi-wheeled mower I wanted to restore, I looked in the Northern online catalog to check what was available. The 6.5 B&S Intek popped up on the sale page. After checking the specs I decided to try it out. It's been over 2 months since I've installed this engine and I can tell you that it really is a workhorse! I have had some different situations with Northern before and every time I have needed any help they have customer service that is second to none. I plan on ordering another small engine soon after checking the latest online update, I found a motor that I was interested in and it's also on sale!"
