[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3570161, member: 15054"] I had to swap engines on my push mower yesterday. My snapper wore out to the point of low compression no cutty when it got warm, 5 minutes of mowing. Son gave me a busted Honda power washer. I used that engine. Had to take a blade mount off another mower because the shaft sizes were different. Drilled the blade for the new mount. WOW this power washer engine cuts like no other push mower I have ever owned! Know what is funny I have had 3 HP and the 3.5HP old school engines and those would cut better and not bog much in tall grass compared to the newer 6.5 HP stuff. This 5.5HP Honda if talking HP feels like a 10HP deal the way it cuts. I hope I get a few years from it. If you see a 57 Chevy 4 door car pulling a trailer today with a riding and push mower on it that would be me. AND: I was walking to the backyard to get some scrap iron and I looked on the ground near one mess of scrap and what do I see? A mower blade mount same as the one I spent 45 minutes getting off one of my other mowers. [/QUOTE]
