    Is it belt drive, direct drive, or chain? Might do well to put it on CL for parts/repair

    Not sure about the drive, i suspect chain or direct as i see no visible belt, its heading to the yard tomorrow, Craigslist doesnt help me any, nearest listings are for 80, 90 miles away.I was planning on going today,but i didnt have quite a trailer full, hit a junkpile,and my dad found some more stuff around his place, so sacking cans bright and early and heading out.

    Hek, if that's the case I'd check the local area Thrifty Nickels and such, the little free classified things usually have free ads up to a certain price. There's also a garden tractor forum that has ads

    LOL @ Thrify Nickle, Nearest place there distributed is the previously mentioned 80 to 90 miles away.I do have a couple leads for the nearest town, couple guys work on small engines and mowers,one of my friends said they give a better price for mowers to use for parts, next time i'm in town i'll talk to them and find out.

    Don't waste no time man, I set stuff aside for a while thinking I'd load it up one day and drop by the local small engine repair, but about a week ago their sign said "business for sale" and ging by a couple days later saw on the other side "closing Oct 1"
    Even $25 would be about 5 times what you'll get at the yard
