Briggs 725 EXI on my Snapper 21"?

[slomo]

Briggs makes a 223cc engine I think it is with 10ft lbs of torque. I would love to try one of those monsters out. Would be awesome on a Snapper 21" mower.

I can find the Briggs 163 cc 7.25 torque engines with the 25 mm shaft diameter but none with the 2 3/4 inch shaft length. All of them are 3 and 5/32" now. Will the longer shaft length be ok???

Think about what you are saying. Longer shaft will drop the blade lower. Then the deck height wheel levers will be off. And on a hi-vac deck, the blade might hit the lower rolled in deck lip.
