Default AHHH I THREW A ROD!!!!!!

....................So my business partner is just going along and BOOM, threw a rod. Now I need a new motor.













its on my Scag 48inch Hydro lawn mower........pathetic part is that the new engine is $800.........I could get another D series for that much. Time is money, I lost time today, so I lost money, plus the $800. Im pissed.
