yeah much cheaper than piecing a frame and wheels. its worth it to have a runner anyhow, im sure you could open up its engine and see whats broken, probably something simple like a broken flywheel key, theyd have to have no oil in it to spin the bearings, and im sure bearings are easy to find hell people sell the stock engines with no miles on them on ebay all the time cuz 1st thing to do is a 6.5 swap and even a lil 3.5hp flathead briggs is better than the stock engine.
