6 HP yard machine is dying, is there any help or is it going to junkyard?

I have a 6 HP Yard Machine (Briggs & Stratton), it starts and pulls within 1 or 2 cranks but, motor shakes and has grey smoke rolling out...Have a feeling the motor is shot but, thought I was ask if anyone might have any ideas for me

Grey smoke, or more comman blue/grey smoke, is oil burning.
It may be as simple as a blown head gasket. Or it could be internal damage. Was this engine ever run low on oil?
