    While we are on the topic of " more than scrap value" ie- the mower the bench the lawn tools. Another anecdote if I may...I had a mad rush of mowers at the beginning of the summer. My partner, who is also a pretty good mechanic managed to salvage about 5 lawnmowers of the 15 or so I picked. We both have nice Toro self propelled mowers. 2 of his neighbors that were down on their luck also received rebuilt mowers. The others were scrapped as the engines were seized or were beyond worth fixing.

    As far as the bench goes I will save it for a winter project when I'm slow. I've already picked about three of everything as far as yard tools go. Your welcome to them; just make a road trip.
