I'm kinda being stupid in my old age but my neighbor had an early 90's 1225 with a blown engine and I kinda like its looks so we worked out a deal it looks like a little brother to my 2284 and it works better with my lawn sprayer because it has smaller tires and the seat sets up high and is comfortable to set on. The question is how dumb is it to shoot the works and bring it to life again? I know one thing the engine is special because it has an extra long crankshaft to accommodate the electric clutch for the deck. The rod broke and put a hole in the block, I can fix the block.The question is can I have the cylinder bored out bigger and find parts to do this with Briggs?

I don"t think the block can be saved once it got a hole in it. What type engine is it? Might watch ebay for a block.
Most engines have long shaft pulleys that bolt on to the shaft on the engine to extend it. If you like the tractor and it"s in otherwise good condition go for it. It does get expensive though as parts are so high.

It's a vertical crankshaft Briggs 12hp. I'm getting ready to tear it down soon. I'll post it when I get it apart with all the numbers. I have a shop that has fixed many aluminum blocks and I guess I kinda went overboard when I said a hole in the block, actually it pushed a cracked in it where the metal is all still there it just needs it hammered back in place and welded. I have done this with JB weld when I was a poor boy and had to make do. I'm really more concerned about crankshaft main alignment and those things. Crank condition is probably the most expensive part but your input is good because I wasn't aware you can get extended cranks that easily. Thanks.
