SNOW THROWER ENGINEPowerMore™ OHV Winterized Engines represent the very latest in 4-cycle engineering - minimizing emissions and maximizing power. Their advanced design combines commercial-grade innovations with consumer-oriented ease of use. Aluminum is replaced by a cast iron cylinder sleeve for reduced bore wear and oil consumption. A cast iron camshaft and forged steel crankshaft provides improved durability and longer life. See more features below – all backed by the quality and reliability of MTD.
Highlights of the 2-stage Snow Thrower Powermore Engine
OHV (overhead valve) design for lower emissions, more power, and reduced fuel consumption. Shielded spark plug boot reduces unwanted electrical interference.
Simple-to-use controls designed for easy access and mitten operation.
Push button 110V electric starter eliminates pull starting. Mitten grip manual pull is provided as a backup.
Ratchet-style gas cap easier to grip, remove, and re-fasten. Large 5.0 litre fuel tank means less fillings and longer run time.
Automotive-style, oil dipstick allows for easy oil checks both at the start and throughout the season.
Extended oil drain for quick and easy oil changes makes ongoing maintenance simple and clean.
