Tote Gote engine replacement?

[OddJobGarage]

I found these two old B&S motors. Are they a good replacement for a Gote? I need to get them running and then I think probably swap the fuel tank from the left to right side. Will they work? I've had a few folks balk at the idea of antique engines, but I feel like these are just fine.

Explain relocating tanks? Both of those motors should work fine on a Gote but the orange one will be very low powered.

Does that white one have a gear reduction unit on it? That's a snowblower engine and most of those had them. Would require crankshaft swap to use.

What model Tote Gote? What does the output shaft look like?

The tanks on these engines are mounted on the right, but I don't think they'll fit. The tank on the current engine is on the left.

It looks like it's just a normal drive shaft, so I don't think so.

This is a model B. It just looks to me like the tanks would be in the way of the brake or rubbing against the rear wheel.

The model B Tote Gote was designed around the Briggs 3hp with flojet carb and remote tank.
