Hello,
New member to the forum, looking for some guidance from the experts.
I have a MTD Yard Machine Snowblower with a 10.5 Tecumseh (2 shaft) engine. Well, that's blown a rod and now I have a hole in the side of the cylinder casing .
My question is this: is it worth trying to repair this thing by picking up a new cylinder casing and connecting rod online, or should I just chuck this thing and get an entirely new snowblower? I have the technical ability to do it, but I don't want to be foolish with time and money either. From a quick check online, we're looking at at least $250-300 in parts.
If a new snowblower is in order, with a budget of around $1k, what would be the recommendations?
Thanks!
