My John Deere has a BS engine but the whole mower/tractor is junk. I
want to purchase a MTD with a Honda engine....seems like the best
combination.

For the best mower buy Honda. Of course that is not US made.

Don't bet on it, Harry. Interesting to observe, NO Honda Lawn Mowers
are built in Japan.

From Honda Power's web-site: Honda manufactures approximately 500
thousand lawnmowers per year in the United States, France, Australia,
China and Italy*, and supplies them to Australia and other countries
in addition to the two largest markets: North America and Europe.
Local production began at an early stage, starting in the United
States in 1984 and in France in 1986,
