That is killer! Love it!

Makes me want to do that with one.

Dumbn question but are the holes lined up to accept any Honda engine or is this something specified when ordering it?

I just did a similar project, except I used the GCV160 instead. Went pretty smooth.

Here's mine I just finished assembling. Took a non-commercial deck that had a dead Tecumseh TVS-90, added the commercial handlebars, brackets and straps and put on a GXV-120.

That's a great looking mower you've got, nothing cuts like a snapper

Thank you, yours as well. Very clean and that Honda engine was a great idea. Luckily the shaft size on mine wasn't an issue as it came off another older snapper self propelled mower, the deck was in terrible shape but this engine is great. Just needs carb cleaned but it bolted right up. Got the correct throttle cable off eBay and now it's makes a nice trio with my Briggs and wr185. I have the ninja blade on the Honda, looking forward to seeing how it mulches.

...but since my 185 (and other two WRs) reside in this recently acquired vintage display rack they won't see much use. So the Honda and Briggs are my go-to along with the old Honda HR-194.
