Another 682 With a blown K17

Bought this from a guy who was straight up on the phone that said the motor was blown. I went and looked at it anyway because I wanted another Cub like my 1811. Sure enough the motor turned about 3/4's of a rev and clunked to a stop. Then saw the broken block on the right side. I bought it cheap, and its in great shape. I have read all the posts about the expense of rebuilding the motor vs a repower. I will get to all that in time. I just didn't want to pass up on a good condition 682. It is the series II, not sure why it blew, low oil maybe. Anyhow one more project! Keeps me out of the bars. Here is a few pics for those interested.

And it would'nt be complete without the blown motor picture.

That's in excellent shape TB, minus the motor. You going to repower or rebuild? Good score none the less.

Thanks Alvy. I will explore both options in time. It's already evident that at a minimum, I will need a block (at least the right side), a rod, and probably a crank. I just don't know yet. Guys will say to throw it in the trash and repower, and that's a great idea, but it will have to wait. thanks, TB

Nice looking mower, certainly appears to have been taken care of. Maybe start scouring CL for another engine. I found a couple Older Craftsman mowers with 18 hp Magnums this summer that may be adequate donors (I've got a 682 with a ventilated crankcase also). Keep us posted on what you do with it.

Nice pickup!:beerchug:

FWIW:
Crankcases are machined as a pair @ the factory, buying just one, is like cutting 2 apples and swapping halves and expecting them to match.:bigthink:

Roger that ol'George, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, TB

Nice find on the 682!

What does repower mean?....It sure is in nice shape.
