Export thread

This is the last year Honda will be selling gasoline engines for Lawn Mowers. In England they are selling the Honda cordless electric lawn mowers. I see many of the popular models are no longer listed at Home Depot or Lowe's.

Oh... interesting.

I wondered why HD only had Toro gas mowers...

Bloody lovely..........

So my nearly new Honda HRX will be worth more or nearly worthless?

one or the other.. Don't forget parts, or lack there of..

Hate to hear that. I’ve noticed at all the stores there is a lack of all brands gas engines. But I hate to hear this is the last year that Honda will be making them.

doesn't help that the clones are getting more popular as well.

I guess it's time to stock up on rear drive wheels, a carburetor, blade engagement linkage, etc.

Hoping the parts dealers don't jack up the prices insanely high.

Parts will still be available.

It sounds good, but for how long ?

You can no longer purchase some of the Honda generator parts and they still produce those. How long will the mower parts be available, not as long as we hope.

my point exactly.

Where can I buy the Honda GCV200 engine?

Look around small mower shops, might get lucky.

Woot woot. This is why some of us have a garage full of old Snapper mowers. Pays to be a hoarder.

That's true, the Mrs disagrees tho.

It would be nice to see Honda’s official press release on the subject.

IS anybody surprised.
EPA keeps on making emission regulations so tight that it is near impossible to make a reliable long life small engine
Customers refuse to pay a reasonable price so buy the imported mower engines in ever increasing numbers .

Remember Honda exited the the ride on engine market because they refused to down grade their products to the price point that the factories would pay.

Honda push mowers are made all over the world so they may import from one of the other factories.
We get both the US made & the Tiawan made models down here and the EU spec is way better than the US spec
There has been no dealer notices about reduced supply down here so looks like we will be getting the Asian made EU model for now.
Because the conservative party ( called Liberals ) did the same to climatic pollution as your Republicans did to turn it into a Left / Right idology issue we have only gone to tier II where as you lot are on Tier IV and heading into tier V which cannot be met with a carburettor
