OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Briggs & Stratton Engines Is this engine suitable for Rover 45 reel mower?

Hi, I finally managed to be a proud owner of the used the Rover 45 reel mower, after so many years of drooling over the next door neighbour's one.

I am wondering if this Briggs and Stratton OHV design 163cc Cast Iron Sleeve and ball bearing crank standard, model no 106232 with standard with 3/4" shaft would be a suitable replacement for the B&S 3.5 HP 91202 engine the Rover currently has.

Thank you with kind regards,

Hien.
