I noticed the Briggs 18hp twin on my 1999 Deere GT235 has a "Japan" stamp on it. Would this just be the casting or do you think these engines were made in Japan? (I had been told that a while back B&S had copied Honda engine design for their upper line models.) Anybody know about the Deere B&S engines? Thanks.

Depends on which B&S model it is. The Vanguards ARE made in Japan, but they are NOT Honda copies. Depending on which Vanguard model, it comes from two different engine makers there.

The inline gas and diesels are also made in Japan, they are rebadged Dihatsue's.. (sp?)

These are the best of the B&S line...
