Are These Two Hondas Worth Fixing to Resell?

Here's the HRS21 with the side discharge chute and the mulching cover.

The HRS21 and HR21 are two completely different animals, and the bagging systems, among a lot of other features, are completely different. I believe the S in HRS actually stood for side discharge as it actually discharged the grass out the side of the deck, not the back like the HR21 did. There was a discharge chute, bagging attachment and a cover to make the HRS21 a mulcher as well. The one in that earlier picture behind the HR214 is an HR21.

Here's a couple of pictures with bags attached that will show the difference.

Just wondering if these 2 Honda pushmowers are worth fixing to resell. Both are self propelled. Both are missing the rear baggers and need carbs. So if I cant find used baggers for them then I'll have to get the side discharge chutes for them. So right now looking at $75 each in parts plus whatever they need in parts. Both will run when spraying carb cleaner in the carb. One is a HR214 and the other is HR21

If you can get them cheap enough and the carbs can be saved with only a cleaning, you might make a little money.

If you have to replace the carbs along with air filters and such, I don't see a profit there. They would be worth saving either way, even if only for personal enjoyment.

Thinking about just keeping them both and find rear grass bags for them. Then use them in the fall for leaf collection.

I agree. With about anything with an engine you will find it to be a money pit if not approached correctly at the time of purchase. I believe you will be better off keeping them for you own enjoyment and purpose.
