GT 18 Re-power

[darkexphos1]

Hi I'm wondering if it's possible to re-power an Ariens GT 18 with a diesel engine? I know Ariens made a diesel version called the GT 18-d (d for diesel). There is one for sale on ebay for over $3000 but I'm not going to pay that much. My reasoning for wanting a diesel engine is for more torque I will not be using it in the winter so starting it is not a problem.

Thanks!:smile:
