Have a 3 year old Craftsman 25hp Kohler engine riding mower.
My dad
ran it dry on oil - didn't notice that the oil filter came
loose
and ran it without oil till it died (unfortunately he has
vision
problems and was unable to notice this)

Anyways- Sears has diagnosed that the engine seized and wants
$2200
to fix - for $100 more I can get a brand new mower.

Has anyone run into this or have thoughts as to if this could
be
done more reasonably by a small engine repair guy? Or do I
bite the
bullet and buy new?

Thanks


Screw Sears and that obnoxious fat-ass Sears whore Bob Vila.

You really want to screw BV? Or do you just like to watch?





Oh great! Thanks pal...
