Since you don't specify, I will assume you mean a power mower. A stripped-to-the-bones walk-behind power mower? $140 - $180. A bells-and-whistles self-propelled walk behind? $350 - $400. A lawn tractor? $1,000 and up.
chances are if it did throw a rod it wouldn't be worth fixing. By the time it was all said and done you would be better off to have a brand new one.
If I were you I would not waste my money on a craftsman product. I have the exact model you are asking about and it lasted for about 13 months. Now it won't start and the cost to repair is as much as the original cost.
