To me mowers are worth breaking down. Pull the motor and sell as irony aluminum = 30 cents a pound compared to 9 cents as shred.

thanks. i have been breaking them down all the way. i just wanted to know if i was wasting my time.

my yard buys them as Irony if the shaft is in it and clean if its pulled.Originally Posted by Ohio Scrapper
I always break them down to clean cast and steel. if you are lucky you find one with a cast AL deck!!
I figure the average price if sold as steel (if you are tossing it on the pile) is between $3.00 and 6.00 depending on weight .

If they're fixable, I fix and resale, if not check if any of the parts are sellable, or cannibalize some for the next mower...scrap the rest.
Old Lawnboys have a sort of cult following around here...vintage Toro's with the cast Al decks...old Snappers, Honda's. Best to check resale before you scrap it on the older stuff...parts aren't cheap or easy to find for some of those, and they're still out there.
Find a few mowers every spring...still cutting grass with my 21+ yr old self-propelled Honda that climbs hills better than I do some days, haven't found one good enough to replace it yet.
