Question
Does Briggs currently manufacture a 5 - 8 HP engine with a side CCW PTO.
They used to make one for Ariens tillers that utilize the side PTO for reverse.
The original engines on the Ariens tillers were Tecumseh with the side CCW
PTO.

Answer
Hello David:

Briggs Does Make a Horozontal Shaft with the CCW PTO Shaft. It is a Special Application Engine. You can View All the Briggs Engines and their Specifications at this Site Addy; http://faqs.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/faqs.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1487 and Click on the Blue Words "Replacement Engine Catalog". I will Try to Locate a Model Number for you if I have the Time. It May take me a Couple of Days to Locate the Proper Engine Model. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Have a Happy Holiday Season and May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully

John
