How much would you pay for a product made in the US vs China

I wander back n forth between automotive and garden tractor/ small engine stuff. .I am SO DAMN SICK AND TIRED of people bragging about "Predator this, predator that". Anything happens throw it away and get another. Fix it? Hell no. Where do you even get parts for one? It is claimed "some" OEM Honduh parts interchange. But not all. Honduh isn't American either.
I am doing a repower job on a Troy bilt horse. A 1972 TB Horse. 52 years old. Original cast iron Tecumseh engine still runs but is just tired. Mosquito fogger tired. It's served it's purpose, done it's job. I can find parts to fix it, rebuild it (properly). and I may one day/ but everyone and their brother is telling me to just go get a predator motor and scrap this one.
Go to He11. Ain't happenin.
That's a lot of what's wrong with the US. We've been sold out, we are owned and it's a crock of shyt. People going for the "cheaper option" is some of the reason. When I've gone cheap it has come back to bite me.
I have 2 good low hour engines from machines that broke and/ or rusted out sitting here, that will bolt right on without any modifications, and one of which will be put onto the tiller. US made engines. One from a snowblower that was put away wet and rotted out, and one from a power washer that the pump froze on over a winter. Spent less combined for both than even a Damn predator would cost. My last few automotive engines that I built were built by way of 20-30+ year old US made parts sourced from places like rock auto and eBay. No chinesium involved. And done cheaper than I could have done then with chinesium. The parts are still out there collecting dust.
