Yes I hadn't seen the front of the motor to see if it was the OHV motor.
The cast iron flywheel would help the motor from stalling under load and loosing too many rpm.
From memory there is a step in the lower crank for the Rover mulcher.
The last Rover Mulcher I repaired was sold for $250. ,I just throw them out if the motor is burning oil.
With second hand engines if you can't see them apart or running then you shouldn't pay anywhere near what an inspected good running motor will be worth.
I see people throw out mulchers that were over $1000. new that just need rings or a new 7 hp $175 motor.
There are a few on eBay for around $200. but have seen them for $50. at garage sales.
