    electric mower: anything but motor to scrap?

    I got an old Craftsman 12Amp mower. The owner told me that its switch assembly is broken, but since I already have a gas mower and a replacement switch is probably going to cost more than the whole mower is worth, I decided to scrap it. Is there anything more valuable in it than iron other than the motor?



    Thanks.

    I scrapped one once. You have the motor (around here is .15 per lb), the iron (blade, handle, etc .08 per lb) and the cord and any wires you can snip off (unstripped .50 perlb or stripped 2.50 per lb). That is pretty much all that is on there
