Welcome aboard mowergirl to the forum.
It is good to see that you are posting because we all here love to see new faces on the forum that we can help with advice.
Your motor sounds like it must have been low on oil to cause the conrod to break. If you post in the question on mowers area with the model type and code of your engine we will upload a parts list so that you can start to cost out your repair before you make your decission regarding a new motor or repair.
Anyway it is good to see that you are back and I will be looking out for your post in the future.
