Broken Con Rod 44N677

[Stanna]

Hi all

I have a B & S 44N677 with a broken con rod from a john Deere Z355E twin cylinder. Only 75 hours on the clock and owner says it has been serviced and never been run dry???? Other cylinder runs fine and mower is still moving but obviously next to useless.

Is it worth repairing or is it likely to be too much damage to crank and casing. No external damage and i havent bothered to strip down yet as it seems pointless.

Any thought please.

The only way to know for sure is to tear it down and have a look see. You can speculate about what damage there maybe internally, but without opening it up you will not know, and there is potential that the broken parts could cause more damage if continued to be run.
