I paid my way through college working HVAC for Bethleham steel, burns harbor, In.
Aren't you a hvac man too. If so, you can work on a terramite. Kohler gas engine, TRW pump and motor. All parts and made in USA. No terramite dealers, they sell direct. Call them if you need a part and they UPS it. Most DIY rentals have terramites. Go rent one for the weekend. Weekend rates are usually cheaper. You may not want to return it. I think some use another Terramite like sub compact, think it an almond??
The reason I went with Terramite is it's the only gasser, all the rest I found were diesel, which I can't stand the smell, get a headache. Gasses are cheaper and easier to work on too and mine has never failed to start in the winter.
Mine is a 2004, used with 435 hrs. It was missing on one cylinder. Got it for $9100 tax included. Had to change spark plugs and clean carb. I have 1230 hrs on it. Looked on ebay, they want more for my 2004 than I paid for it. Like honda and toyota, they seem to hold their value. That said, I'll NEVER sell mine. Use it too much around the yard(s). I have more than one place to take care of.
Small engine warehouse has new kohler engines for around $1200. I looked at it this way, for $1200 I'll not even think of rebuilding mine, just get new engine. However, my engine has no issues to date.
Google terramite craigslist and you may find all the terramites on craigslist or use searchtempest.com. You may get lucky and find one locally. I had to drive 300 miles to get mine.
