I have a John Deere 214 with a broken con rod. When disassembling a broken piston ring was also found. I don't know how old the tractor is, but I do know the engine has never been rebuilt. Despite havng the oil changed just over a month ago, the oil was very gritty. I will have to replace the con rod and there is scoring, so I will have to take it to be machined. What is the cost, usually, of having one of these 14hp Kohlers rebuilt? The advice I'm receiving is to just buy new. . . but I'm just not sure.
