you can, I have done a few myself years ago, but these days the price of parts is nothing short of piracy and the price of new mowers by ratio and wages has tumbled. I would not bother getting my hands dirty with it. Do not get it done in a repair shop unless you like to cry on your bills

How do you fix a seized mower?
That largely depends on the quality of the engine. If its a cheap/old one its junk. Most often a cheap engine is fatally damaged by a seize. However... The two main culprits are heat and lack of lubrication. So, allowing the engine to cool and making sure its properly lubed can sometime un-stick a mildly seized engine. (always check a small engine's oil level before each use) If it is jammed a bit harder spraying a penetrating lubricant (like PB Blaster) into the spark plug hole can help. Severely seized engines would need to be taken apart and rebuilt.

You need to overhaul the engine. Your first mission is troubleshooting: did the engine seize because the pistons seized, or because the main bearings seized? To do so, pull the heads and try to remove the cylinders. If they won't come off, piston seize. If they will and when you have them off the engine won't turn over...bearing seize.
