Default I picked up a broken 125

Last night I bought a 125 which according to the seller had a "spun connecting rod bearing." He said that he had just had the engine overhauled (for the same problem I think, but it wasn't clear) and six hours later the engine broke again. He said that "she made him mad." It is a K301. Any thoughts about the feasibility of fixing this? I've never opened up an engine before.

The tractor came with ag tires (old but they are still in usable condition), chains, an extra set of rear wheels with turf tires, a set of wheel weights, and a snow blade. Grand total: $150.

Can anyone ID the wheel weights? They were really tight when I tried to put one into a wheel.

The bottom seat cushion is not pictured, it is in my garage. The seat says "Bucyrus Erie" which is the name of a company that used to make giant coal stripping machines.
