What do you mean? I have the enigne in my garage. I fixed the starter
thanks to you guys help last night. I was hoping all I needed was a
connecting rod but I wanted everyone elses advice as to weather this
is a good idea or not. (To rebuild verses replace).

If you are *really* bored and need a long term hobby, by all means repair.

If you want to till soil, replace the motor.
As Karl said, make an adapter if necessary and git'er done.

I'd be fixing it unless I had a spare that was a close fit right at
hand. Not rocket science. Buy a replacement rod and piston ass'y and
go for it.
