Howdy, I'm hoping somebody here can help sanity check my plan, as I'm a bit confused on crankshaft size/tapping requirements...
I was gifted an old Honda HRX2172HXA (Serial #: MAGA-1645051).
I loved the thing. All the mechanical parts are working great, but the engine quit and won't pull anymore. I think it's possible that I got water in it via the air filter after a water hose bath. My engine repair guy simply says it's "broken in the cylinder". It seems this mower would cost about $1000 to replace, so I'm looking to see if an engine replacement is economically feasible.
The original motor is stamped 186 cubic cm, and has a serial number of GJAAA-2224594 MU2(1?).
1) I believe this is a suitable replacement motor, at about $200. However, I note that it's a 7/8" x 2" vertical shaft, untapped:

2) Is this the correct motor with the correct shaft dimensions?
3) Based on another thread here on this forum, it sounds like the shaft can be tapped. I have access to a machinist. What size of drill and tap would be needed to allow it accept the blades, 10X24 at 2" deep?

4) Alternatively, would it make more sense to replace the crankshaft on a new motor, as discussed here. If so, which?

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!

GCV160 tapping crank shaft
Hello Guys! I live in western Washington state and just got a new 160 engine to replace the old briggs on the mower. The deck is fine and the new Honda looks like a nice fit. My question is, what kind of an adapter will I need for the 7/8" keyed shaft...and more importantly, it looks like I'll...

HRX217 HXA crankshaftpart number
Hi, So my wife tried to cut through a 2” metal pipe with our Honda HRX 217 mower, resulting in a bent crankshaft. I’ve got the crankshaft part number down to 2 options, 06131-Z8D-W50 or 13311-Z8D-960, but can’t figure out which it is or if there’s a difference. Attached is a pic of the serial...
