does anyone know if there is a typical shaft size on the 5 hp engine?mine bit the dust i need to order a engine.. thanks guys

3/4" is the most common (and the cheapest). Change the coupling half if necessary.

I've also seen them in 5/8" and 1" diameter on occasion.

That is the best way. It is likely 3/4" x 3 5/32" assuming it is a horizontal shaft engine, this is common and cheap for the equipment manufacturer. 1" is available but more expensive. If the dusted engine is this style, the new ohv will likely need to be shimmed to align the shafts. If a vertical shaft things get more involved, a standard mower  engine won't work.

its a horizontal shaft.but can the 1"engine be replaced w/ a3/4 engine ? im not sure how the shaft marries up to the pump.

It likely has a lovejoy coupling, two metal drivers with a neoprene star between them. Change the engine side coupler if necessary and ensure the shafts are aligned. If they are not, the unit will vibrate and the coupling may fail.

Quotedidnt see that option in the n tool site,

Graduate to a different site, and maybe look at Surplus Center (surpluscenter.com). IMO much more helpful.

Jacks Small Engines is a pretty good site for engines, if you are looking for new.
