Any who I stay away from steel unless a friend with a truck can help out since I'm a car scrapper at the moment.



But today I did pick up a lawn mower Briggs and Stratton six horse and am thinking its only garbage because the pull cord is broke. Did you test yours?

Over the years I've rescued 3 grass trimmers and 1 push mower from dumpsters and the only thing that was wrong with them was a broken pull cord.

Ceiling fan motors, water pump motors, garbage disposals.... Basically any motor.

The mower was toast.

The mower was toast, but I did pick up a curbco pressure cleaner.
