Anyone have a 616-620 with a gx630 Honda engine in it? Was wondering how you liked it. Pros and cons. Tracy

My 616 I re-powered with a B&S 18 HP off a Muray mower I picked up - easy conversion as everything fit straight across .

My New Holland S16 - I re-powered with a horizontal shaft 18 HP Honda - made a great unit as the Honda had more power and better running profile than the original 16 HP Kohler . I had to make my own motor coupling to fit Honda engine to adapt to drive system on the Vickers hydrostatic trans-axle .
