    I paid $30. for a good running mower with a bagger. 25 is definitely not scrap value maybe $5

    Try selling them to a lawn-mower/small motor shop(???)

    About to try similar with the vacuums I've acummulated since they didn't sell.
    Perhaps I'll put them on my buddy's trailer (with some other stuff) and park it at the flea market.
    The other pain is IF somebody wants say just one, I'd have to wait around for them (AFTER picking it up from my storage)
    ...I might just smash them tommorrow IDK
    Off-topic , but vacuums are fun to scrap except for the mess. I cut the long cord.
    then swing it in a radius about two times at the pavement ...it "coughs" (like barfs) out the motor every time...funny looking.

    You probably know most of the motor cases are cast Aluminum on mowers...seems like a pain (?)...Wondering since I have an 8.5 HP with no compression ...I'm too lazy/busy to dissamble it..any advice?
    Thanks.
