Lawnmower motor mount has come loose from the frame. Fixable?

OT ballers, ask your landscaper, por favor. Husqvarna walk behind mower, it looks like a piece of metal has cracked off the frame under the motor mount, and the motor vibrates like crazy. Can this be repaired, or is it junk? I bought what seemed to be a decent mower instead of a Wally World special, and it hasn't even lasted a year.

Can you weld?

Might be under warranty. Check the Husqvarma website.
Strange that 's piece of metal "cracked off". Where was this piece located?

No, and I'm pretty sure my small engine guy can't either. If I can't get it fixed for ~$100 or less I'll leave it by the curb and hope somebody steals it. Just pissed at the shoddy workmanship of what's supposed to be a quality brand.

You need a handyman that welds. They can jury rig it.

Try to get it replaced under warranty. If they won't do it, get it welded. Next time buy a WalMart special mower at the beginning of winter on close out and treat it as disposable. Got mine for $110 and it is on its third season. First hint of trouble, it goes to the curb and I get another.

Directly under the motor mount on the muffler side. There's about a two inch gap where a piece of the frame is missing. All the bolts are tight.

How old is it?
If you leave grass clippings on your mower deck, this happens as it rusts out.

If it's still under warranty, let them deal with it. If not, put some jb weld on that bitch and run it until it breaks.

Bought it at the end of last September.

Contact company and ask them what they can do.

Sidewalk surf in the flood affected area. There bound to be a flooded one on the curb. Ask the homeowner if you can have it. It would be a good winter project.

If you don't know how to weld you could get a peice of metal and rivet a patch over the crack. Fairly simple to do, can find videos on YouTube.

Run longer bolt thru hole with a big arse washer or steel plate on bottom side

Flexseal should fix it right up

Buy some JB Weld.

a welder can fix anything metal...if it is not under warranty, just bring it to a machine shop.
ETA: don't run it that way or you will break a lot more shite.
also, maybe it broke because the motor was vibrating excessively....
