I got a call from a person today said he had some things for me and one was an electric lawnmower. I've never broke one down before and am wondering what I'm in for. I'm sure some one here has taken one apart is it going to be worth my time?
Thanks in advance

I sell my lawnmowers and snowblowers to a guy that repairs them..he pays more than scrap...he's on the way to the yard and my work so it works out great..might be something for u to consider looking out for...or you could break it down, weigh everything n let us all know what its worth..gl
Thanks Scrappy I do the same the guy at the yard that I bring my tin to will pay 60 bucks for snow blowers if they run but this lawnmower is fried. I will let you know the pro/cons when I do get it.
If you've never broke a certain object down, always do it once just to see if it's worth it to you. Everyone's opinions are different.
I will be awaiting your results as I have 2 to pick up next month
Decent sized electric motor but I was rather disappointed in the few black and decker ones I tore apart.
Why's that small motor's ?Quote:

Well I picked it up yesterday not much steel on it it's a sunbeam didn't know they made lawn mowers any way 4 screws hold the cover on 4 bolts hold the motor the deck is heavy aluminum a couple of pounds well worth it but a weird looking thing I will say that lol.
The wife picked up one at a yard sale for $ 10 three years ago , after I found all the rocks in the yard , I finally picked up a blade for $ 18.00 at Lowes , and the thing cuts like new LOL
