Hi all
I have a Scott Bonnar 45 with 17inch reel.

The Kirby (2.5hp)is on the way out so would like to understand if i could fit the 2.5hp B&S from my SB diplomat. Would it be a straight swap or require much to change it over?. Or am I better off looking to a new engine(and what would it likely cost)
I'm relatively handy but haven't done much mechanically so not sure if it would be extending my ability!! I've seen the you tube footage of removing the reel, but not an engine!

Any advice or info would be much appreciated....

Thanks
Barry
