    Depends on how you feel after taking that first one apart. I always take the engines off and sve them up until I have a few or so and then break them down in one day - just engines. To me, its worth separating all the cast from the steel.

    If you turn it in whole, you will have to drain the gas and oil out of them.

    I talked with a shop recently because I have a couple of small motors from mowers to see if they were interested in buying for parts. Turns out they didn't even want to see them before saying "no"... didn't offend me because there are a couple of other shops in the area (& some "off the radar" shops") who might be. I just thought selling for parts might net more than selling for scrap (& I still have the frames, etc. to throw in shred). These were older and well used (abused?) so maybe nothing there past scrap, but reduce REUSE recycle .... when feasible
