Is my lawnmower done for?

It is about 7 years old. I mowed with it yesterday and it lost power. So I shut it off and white smoke with a burnt electric smell came from under the pull start on top. Not oil burning but electrical smell slowly for about 5 min. 5 horse Brigs and straton motor. Also the wheels on the frame are wobbly. And some minor body damage over the years. Buy a new one or worth repair? Also will not start now and no spark at plug.

    You can take it to a mower repair shop and get a professional opinion but at that age replacement is a logical choice.

    Replacing it will be less expensive than repairing it.
