Craftsman hole in the side of the engine block

[Riley6411]

Hello I got another mower today while doing scrap and I don’t know if it is worth saving but there is a hole in the side of the engine and of course the previous owner did not have any oil in it at all
Can it be fixed or is it a parts mower now?

If that hole wasn't in the side of the engine when it was new then it's a parts engine..... Whats the model of the engine ??

Is it leaking any oil?

Not much info to go off of.

A picture would tell a thousand words.

Mike I can honestly say if you can see the internals of the engine It's TOAST.... It depends on if it's a push mower or a rider...... How many HP is it or Gross Torque ???

To keep it simple........ Can you spin the engine with the pull rope or the starter ?????
