B&S 17.5hp intek ohv

[Dburns1004]

Hello I'm new to the site but hoping to get some opinions I have a craftsman lt2000 with a 17.5HP b&s intek ohv. The other day I changed the belts on my mower (pain in the butt for me lol) also needed to add some oil. Once I got the belts were done I was so excited for finally getting them on that I forgot to add the oil. So I proceeded to mow and the tractor came to a sudden hault and died. Right away I remembered I forgot to add oil and new there was going to be a problem . So I added oil and tried to fire it back up but the flywheel would only do MAYBE a half rotation before hitting something inside the engine . I didn't want to keep trying so I got online and seen a few forums of people taking about bent or broken push rods (2 of them) . So I checked those OT and they looked fine ...Any ideas of what it could be or am I "s.o.l". I was thinking possibly the crankshaft bearing bit honestly I don't know a whole lot about small engines ..thank you for your time.
