I have a 25-yr old Craftsman 20" walk-behind mower. The 5.0 HP engine runs well, but the "deck shell" or "deck housing" (whatever the right name is), onto which the engine is bolted, has rusted out to the point where the mower has become unsafe to use.

If I can find an old 20 or 21" mower that just needs a new engine, I can do the swap and not have to junk a good engine. Does anyone out there have such an old mower, or any suggestions for finding one? I suppose I ought to check the Moultonborough transfer station next time I go.

I have looked online (eg. Ebay) for old mower parts, with no luck finding that part.
