This past season my riding mower engine blew due to overheating - mouse nest in the blower housing.
(engine started, knocked, stopped hard, leaked oil)
The dealer wan'ts $900 to repair it - small block, piston, etc. He will keep the existing flywheel, carb, etc.
Is this a good deal?
I've read horror stories about the Kohler courage engine -I'm thinking maybe replace it with a B&S or something that's better built - not too familiar with what I can replace it with - or if it'll be more money that way.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
