After it died, I checked the oil, and it was so low that it wouldn't
even register on the dipstick (don't ask). The local mower repair
shop owner is telling me that it has a blown rod, that no short block
is available, and it will cost $1500 - $1600 to repair. Does it make
economic sense to do so?

It's a Gravely G-series 16hp that is 15 years old which cost $5000
new. We also have vacuum attachments for it.

Thanks,

I think you can get a new 16hp engine for much less than that. (?)
