C111 returns home...engine failure

[rydogg 186]

Last spring I traded this C111 to a friend of mine for a horse trailer and upon delivery I told him to keep the oil full and you should have no problems since it had good compression and did not smoke at all, well he calls me and says I can have the tractor back since his wife blew it up I picked it up last night here are some pictures of the damage, the starter mount broke when the rod hit it you can see the leftover starter mount next to the new "window" in the block. The C111 came to me with a 42 inch RD deck he had problems with it so I set him up with a 36 inch RD deck and when I picked it up it had and extra 36 inch SD deck so if anyone needs decks contact me. I am going to try to sell this locally as is and if I still have it this winter I will probably repower it with a kohler 10 to 16 hp engine.

Here is a picture of the oil dipstick with just a drop of oil at the very tip.
