How many CC's for a snowblower

[greatwhite]

So I have a 30 year old Craftsman snowblower it's 10 HP. These day's they only give you the CC's of the engine and there seems to be know conversion for HP. Does anyone know how CC's I should get?? I was looking at a 300 CC or even go to the 338 CC's.

My old 10 HP use to go through anything at full speed. The 300 CC's is the forth biggest they have at Canadian Tire. Pretty much need to buy at Canadian Tire since I have 600 bucks in Canadian Tire money.

Anybody else have a new one of similar size in the Ottawa area or farther North? Will it go through the deep wet stuff?

CC's is a measurement of engine size whereas HP is a measurement of power. AFAIK,there's no way to convert it without getting a headache. I've seen the Can Tire snowblowers and I'm pretty sure that they're 8 HP. With $600 in Can Tire money,I'd throw a couple of hundred more in the pot and go big.

Go big or go home. 3 stage 400cc, I could launch snow out of my laneway, Over the neighbours house into his backyard if I wanted to lol (In town)

SD, is 3 stage really worth it? Seems like a gimmick to me but I've never used one so don't know how they are. My first concern is the drive train is now more complex and that usually means something else to go wrong.

gw-not saying this is exact-but seems pretty good for rough estimate.Good luck.

My current one is only two stage I bought it from a friend 10 years ago in mint condition. But I push this thing hard. It would go through the deepest wet snow on full speed and it would just go through it. It's slowing down now needs to many repairs and I don't feel like fixing it.

The 338 CC is 1100.00 no frills that's the third largest that Canadian Tire has.

I just don't know anything about the engines they use, they are not Briggs or Tecumseh.
This snow blower has a Champion engine.

I’d buy a no-name Chinese Honda clone before I’d own another Champion, they’re basically the same thing but you’re paying more for an English name on the box

338 cc will be about a 7 hp engine. You can look on the EPA emissions certification database and get a bunch of information on various small spark-ignition engines. There aren't too many 338 cc models, so it is relatively easy to figure out which one you are talking about.

I think I have the same old Craftsman snowblower you have. Mine is getting near the end, but it is good enough for now.
