If I had a choice I would've looked for a used or rebuilt lower over this one.
It's such a difficult decision. I actually found a whole motor with a bad piston. Guy guarantees me the foot is good and will refund my money if it isn't. He wants $800 for it. Assuming it's a OEM lower unit I feel it's worth it. Then I'll have even more spare parts for my motor. If the midsection is not rusted like mine I may go get it. Mine has some pretty bad rust issues.
