    Geez, both of them look brand new to me! What's wrong with them? I sell all of my mowers to a guy who fixes them. I make more than scrap and it's a quick turnaround. It may be worth looking into. To me those look too nice to scrap!

    I'm not sure of the year of the silver one, the engine is no good on that one and I know, it looks brand new to me too! they are both Craftsman LT2000. the silver one has a kohler engine and the red one has a B&S. the red one will click but not fire so I will keep that one to try and get running and keep. I *think* the red one is an 08.

    Nice score

    Engines take 5 bolts to unmount it and the crank pulley, do the wires and fuel line. Drop a spare in (saved from scrap) and bolt it back together.
