right fit for my mover
Can’t think of anything I don’t like about it. It’s all good thank you.
I put this on a Honda GCV 160. Which the product description indicates its comparable with. The holes for mounting were too small/smaller than the original part. I simply drilled them out and elongated the one toward the front for proper alignment. After doing so. All seems right with the world. At it works as it should. Going to go finish the lawn now.
