Replacement engine for Huskee 22T splitter

[Nywooddude]

I went with an 11 hp Intek engine, 21R707 0079 F1. It's a direct drop-on, and can easily drive pumps up to 22 GPM, if you resolve some of the line size and hydro cooling issues inherent to these splitters. I'm presently running 19 GPM with only a few line size upgrades and no additional cooling, and it's fine.

What you'll find is if you try to run a big pump on a small motor, or the stock system with small line sizes, is that the motor really bogs. If it can't maintain RPM under no load, then you're wasting fuel and not getting full speed.

PS - when I said "direct drop-on", I meant the shaft orientation and length were correct. I think the shaft diameter was slightly larger, because I remember buying a Lovejoy half coupling for the new shaft, which mated right up with the old spider and half coupling already on the machine. Also, I did have to drill new mounting holes in the mounting plate on the splitter for the new motor. It was actually pretty easy, after mating the Lovejoy and wasting an evening measuring 3x, in an extra-anal demonstration of "measure twice, cut once".

Which lines did you upgrade with your 19gpm pump? I'm thinking just the pressure line from pump to cylinder and the return. And what did you upgrade the original lines to.
Your Intek is a vertical shaft I'm assuming as you mentioned direct drop in with only drilling holes for the base correct?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give

I'll check my records tomorrow on the line sizes, but I specifically remember getting rid of the hard line on the cylinder, replacing that with a larger hose, and swapping the suction line and bung fitting. That line is low pressure, so no problem going with a thin-wall hose barb for the tank bung. I'll bet I have a spreadsheet filed somewhere with all the line size changes, I'll see if I can find it tomorrow.

Yes, motor dropped right on, with buying a new Lovejoy coupling half to fit the new shaft diameter. And yes, just had to drill three new bolt holes in the mounting plate, to match up with the new motor. I arranged it so exhaust is outboard, away from cylinder and pointing away from operator.
