I bought a craftsman tiller. Here's theinfo on it. 7.0 hp 17" ohv dual rotaing tie "drt" model # 917.296040 . Rigs motor. If it will cost more to fix could anne tel e here I could find a replacment motor at . Or just buy a new tiller? For under $40 dollars and I am not sure if the motor is locked up or if something else mite be wrong. Whin I try to pull the crank rop it doesn't move . I called sears and they gave me a price of a new moter of $402.10 and $9.99 shipping. But was wanting to know if maybe something else maybe stopping from turning? Not even sure how old it is can someone help pz

Hi demonpup and welcome, have you taken the top off to make sure it's not the starter rope fouled up? Check if the flywheel will turn by hand.
