Yeah I've had my share of Chonda failures including dropped valves, leaks, etc. and parts availability and look ups are interesting to say the least. Nothing like a real Honda but that's just my opinion.

I have one of 212cc harbor freight engines on my wood splitter. Going on two years now. Thing starts first or second pull. With shipping cost me $106. Time will tell how long it lasts but right now it is working fine. I had looked at single cylinder 13 hp one for tractor replacement but it was splash lube. This concerned me on a tractor. Wonder what the twin uses?

I don't want to get on a soap box here, but this is a bad idea to just save a few dollars. Chinese knock-offs are the bane of manufacturers, they steal technology without spending $ on engineering (usually North American engineers).

Its like buying hot speakers in a parking lot from a dude in a white van!

I put one on a log splitter a few years back. Still running good after the pump gave out and we transplanted it to a gokart (single cylinder) has been fairly reliable but I dont think id trust them on something I use almost daily

A few years ago when those clones just came out, Honda sued them over patent infringenent. Honda ended up settling for around 5 millon. I beleive the first ones where Predator engines. Over the years I had several customers that when there old B&S/TEC flatheads engines on (tillers/walk behing snow blowers), were past there prime as far as rebuilding. Had me repower with the 5/6 hp clones, with narly a problem. I have a 13hp clone on my 9000 watt generator and with several power outages in the last couple of years. It has run 24 a day, except for re-fueling and to change the oil up to 3/4 days and a week with no problems. My only comlpaint it is a gas hog.

First let me say that I am not trying to push these things. I only posted it as a cheap repower possibility. I'm not a big fan of China crap putting US workers out of a job. That said I did a little digging about the V-Twin and it is a pressure lube system with a cooler and a filter. They use the same engine in a generator that they sell so I down loaded the manual for it and looked at the parts. I have a Northern Tool Chonda on my tow behind Bush Hog flail mower, so far it's been good but then again it doesn't get much use. For something that will get limited use that you don't want to spend a lot of $$$$ on these seem to fit the bill. If it's going to be run hard and you want a long life then I'd go for a Kohler or a Vanguard.

I bought a new Homelite brand pressure washer a couple of years back, because the box was marked on all sides "Made in the USA".

I get the thing home, unpack and assemble, then I look at the engine. I THOUGHT (I know...a verrry dangerous thing ) at first glance it was a Honda GC160 series, but upon further review, tuned out to be a C. C. Honda***. No name brand on a sticker, and it has some unpronounceable name stamped in the block. It actually runs better than the old Craftsman pressure washer with an real Honda GC160, and is easier to start.


*** C. C. Honda = Chinese Clone Honda, AKA "CHonda"

Over the long haul, probably won't be as sturdy as the Kohler K series, but I would buy them instead of the new Briggs or Tecumseh/Lauson engines out there now.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
