I’ve wanted for the longest time to see a Honda engine on a Snapper riding lawnmower. Would probably outlast me.
I won’t buy any piece of equipment for my construction business unless it has a Honda motor on it. I like to buy American when I can but they are simply the best.
There are after market Honda engines that may fit.
I belong to a Snapper Facebook group and that is one of the combos people like to use - an old school Snapper Comet and a Honda. I’m too much of a purist though.
I probably own 50 Briggs small engines in various sizes none younger than 30 years. I’m set for now.
