Finding Equipment to use Honda GX270 Motor

[Ed_Stanton]

I've got this nearly new Honda GX270 9 hp horizontal drive shaft motor that came with a now unused piece of equipment. My problem is how to find other pieces of equipment that I could use and that match to the motor.

The only sort of list that I've found so far is BCS Implements. Honda doesn't seem to list equipment of Mfgs. that make use of their motors. I haven't contacted BCS yet to see if one can buy their equipment without a motor so that I can save money there. Also to save money, I'd prefer to buy used items with perhaps needing an motor replacement or items without an motor that I could use my Honda with, but it's been a frustrating search trying to find what uses what.

Machines that I'm looking to use the motor with are primarily:

Garden Tiller
Brush Cutter
Snow Thrower
Log Splitter
Cement Mixer
and others.

Thanks for any thoughts or leads on how to find equipment that can use this motor.

It will fit on just about anything you want to put it on
you may have to change the pullies and may have to drill new mounting hole in the equipment but it will run any belt drive equipment you choose.
I just put a 11hp honda on an old john deere 110 and woks great

As PyroDon mentions : with some modification, the sideshaft motors would work on just about any piece of machinery which makes use of a sideshaft.

Generator is another option - you see lots of generator heads for sale without the motor.

If you have a local online "Craigslist" or "penny pincher" type paper which deals with used stuff, its a fairly good place to start looking - or even place a wantad.

Do a search on ebay. Might come up with some ideas.
