The parts cost alone may be enough to put you off even if you do the work yourself AND assuming the transmission/pump ass'y are operable.
I would suggest testing the transmission using a drill big enough to turn a 5/8" shaft.
A failure of this magnitude is likely attributable to lack of periodic maintenance.
Good luck!

It was most assuredly caused by neglected regular maintenance. It sat for close to 10 years before my family member and I started tinkering with it and got it back running. I've had no problems with it though in the 5 years I've had it, other than a dead battery once.
Looks like parts are going to run me close to $200 for new drive shaft, flex couplers, and fan. And then I'm not even 100% sure it'll run again after that, nor do I really know if any other parts were damaged that I haven't discovered yet.
