Sometimes Snapper dealers can get the Kaw engines a little cheaper.

I own a JD LX-176 that has thrown a rod in the 14hp Kawasaki engine. I
would like to know if anyone is able to tell me where to purchase a
replacement engine. The JD dealer wants over $1200 for a short block plus
$75 for the gasket kit not to mention LABOR. Does anyone have any
suggestions how to get this lawn tractor out of the garage and back on the
turf where it belongs? thanks in advance.
