I took my boys engine apart and it looks to me like the rod bearing seized up on crank and the rod snapped off very close to the crank.
I told my boy, that it looked to me like the engine got hot, oil failed, rod bearing got hot, expanded and locked up on crank causing the rod to snap. The crank has minimum scaring. I think I could use emery cloth and polish it up to use again. Don't think he will rebuild it. I found hem another engine. Will keep blown engine for parts.
He says he read that the newer 6.75 hp briggs have bad rods.
So, who do you think is right? A bad rod or what I described above? Thanks George

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
