Repower DR chipper shredder

[yardtime]

Need to replace the motor on my chipper . It is a Briggs 800 series . Having a heck of a time locating specs for shaft size , key way etc.. The model numbers on the valve cover does not bring up any luck on all the sites I致e tried . Also can稚 tell if it has gear reduction or do I really need it. The unit belonged to my father-in-law who passed five years ago . The chipper model Is CST 800. Looking for advice on what motor I can put it . Trying to stay low on cost , a new comparable chipper is around $800 . Wouldn稚 be cost effective to spend more than $300 on a motor . I have over five acres so I burn too and chipping/mulching is more of a convenience.
Thanks .

Have you tried contacting DR directly, they should have those specs, and probably have replacement motors. Good luck

You can pull the engine off and measure the shaft size . Hf sells cheap engines ...

"One measurement is worth 1000 expert opinions."
If the output shaft does not align with the crankshaft it has a reduction gear.

So I called dr and they could only give me key way specs , 1/4 x1 1/2 . I’d like to go with an hf motor, cost wise , but it looks like it is too short and squat hitting the mulched hopper chute . I may be stuck with a Briggs replacement. $$$

I checked out the hf motor . I think the 3/4 shaft is a match but the key is 3/8 . Everywhere I turn I may be stuck with $$$$

Could you post the model type and code from the engine and I will see what I can find for specs. Should be located on the side of the valve cover.

If it will work just get a new pulley with the correct key way size.......

The cynic in me suspects that DR (a marketing company) uses enough B&S motors that DR can get B&S to make them to some non-standard spec so DR captures the parts market or can sell more machines when critical parts are unavailable. Have you considered repairing the engine? Internet small engine parts stores can be helpful in finding parts.

Looks like a gear reduction

You have any pictures of it ? And is it a gear reduction motor ?

I’ll have to take the drive belt and centrifugal clutch off and see what I come up with an actual measurement . Moss road and all sent me some good info . I could have sworn it was a 3/4 shaft till I got everyone’s input. I’ve spent a ton of time online searching and you guys got me a lot further in just an afternoon.

 

[Peter 315]

Its not a gear reduction with a centrifugal clutch, If you can get me the shaft size and hp I can get you a price on a honda....

Hi peter , gear reduction was an option that it may or may not have . It looks like it doesn’t because I don’t see a filler plug for that .
