I have a Honda HRX 217 mower, serial #maga1582782, was wondering if there was a way to install a Honda GCV engine serial#gjaa692063 onto this mower frame and make it work. The HRX has been a great mower and would like to prolong its life, Engine is brand new, got it as a trade on some work I did.
I am confused. I thought the HRX 217 had a GCV 190 engine! I can also tell you the GCV 160 will also fit a HRX frame. Now you need the correct shaft if you have a BBC unit.
And beware of the used Pressure washer engines, They have a shorter shaft.
