B&S on a Honda frame ?

[IronTom]

I still have a very old Honda smallest mower, with the automatic-blade-brake,,, which broke.
The smallest mower was the best trimmer ever. My wife's favorite.
I just was given a newer OHV B&S small mower. The mower was junk, but the engine starts on 1 pull !
Suppose the B&S could fit the Honda mower ?

Could be possible pending crankshaft length and diameter. The mount pattern should be the same

Since I did the opposite, installing a Honda engine (mower trans failed), on a Toro Recycler, no reason why it wouldn't work.
But, if you find the motor sits cocked, or the shaft length drops the blade too low, longer high-grade bolts, and some galvanized washers will cure that problem.
