My best deals I remember:
Bought this for 10 bux and sold it for 175. It needed a new gas tank. Great mulcher but it wasn't something I needed.
Got this for $30 I think. Just didn't like it. All I had to do was fix the lever that closed and opened the mulch shutter.
This was free. Nothing wrong with it.
This was free. Needed new fuel lines and a carb cleaning. Not a bad little edger. Kinda wish I'd kept it.
This was $15. Needed fuel lines, carb cleaning, and a belt. Not a bad edger. I keep it for lawns that haven't been edged in a while.
The PE 2000 behind the SRM. This was $20. Needed fuel lines and carb cleaning. I love the clean edge it gives but it's underpowered. Still use it.
This was $30. Needed hoses and carb clean/adjustment. I cut down a large tree with it and many limbs. Works for me :thumbsup:
My favorite deal ever. Got this for $2500 :smile:

Bought this pushmower with the rigged throttle cable because the engine speeds up and slows down and Husqvarna 350 chainsaw that loses power after it warms up for $40. Dumped the old gas in Husqvarna chainsaw. Put my 50:1 tru fuel in it. Got it started it and running for 5-10min . Had to pull out the choke to kill it cause the stop switch was unhooked. Had to pull it good 5 times with choke to get it to start up again after hooking the wire back up to the switch.

Me too and I could have used one of those blowers. I'd have picked up that stick edger too and sold my MTD 4 wheel edger and my PE2000. Would have liked to have that mower too. It was all gone except the trailer, mower, and big mower 2 hours after the ad was posted. I need some kind of RSS feed for instant notification of deals like that

Yep, can't beat the price I've had 2 and both were reliable and cut well. I haven't had a chance to mess with this one yet but he told me the self propel isn't working. I pushed in the personal pace bar and pulled backwards and sure enough it pulls backward with no problem. I could be wrong but I don't think that's a loose belt problem. Hoping it's nothing more than wheel gears or pinion gear. Or maybe the cable needs adjusting.

I worked on one that froze up after oiling it, and forcing it forward a little it took off on its own again. It was kinda dry around the wheel bushings causing it to make the belt slip.

Tried to start it and the rope would pull at all. I removed the sparkplug and pulled and blew oil out the hole. Drained the oil and removed the intake and carb which were full of oil. The air filter was caked with oily sludge.
I bought a mower just like this a while back that was overfilled with oil and after I cleaned it out it ran great.
I cleaned the intake and carb and put the sparkplug in and it still doesn't want to pull. I'll have to look deeper. Stuck valve?
On the self propel the wheels and gears look good. Must be the belt or the tranny. I'm guessing the belt.

I went and looked at a Stihl blower for $145. Well, a still blower is what the ad said I got over there and it was a Dolmar 4 stroke
I would have offered 120 for it if it had looked like it had been taken care of.

I picked up a Toro Super Recycler for $45. It runs but you have to work at it. Needs some TLC and tweaking but generally in real good shape.
The deck looks a lot like my exmark.
I guess that's the main reason I was interested in it. That and I liked my Recyclers so thought a super recycler might be super :licking:
Also picked these up. Thought I was getting a mulch plug from looking at the CL ad pics but just the 3 mulch covers and the rear guard and the side discharge chute.
If it only took 30min and the part was already there it sounds like a good deal. I don't think I could do my 94 Chevy starter in 30 min w/o ramps but my judgment on that is cloudy because I was dropping the oil pan for a new oil pump

The Toro? Seems like it might be a good one with some attention. Looks like somebody tilted oil into the muffler. And the transmission work but you have to hold your mouth just right I'll get a good look at it tomorrow and see whats up.
Stays running once it cranks up and cuts good even though the rpm's seem low to me.
I need to look at the exmark 21 too. The blade clutch kept disengaging Saturday when I was mowing and I had to switch to the Snapper Ninja. I'm hoping it's just something between the lever and the cable end. Probably is.
I couldn't find a name on that Toro engine but I'm guessing Briggs. Got the model number...12f702 and the type 1814-e1. I'm gonna put those numbers in google and see what I see.
Yep... Briggs. Wish it was a Suzuki

Everyone wants the Suzuki 2stroke.... Nog everyone gets it. Yes that's a briggs gts I think its an older quantum engine. Carb probably needs cleaned,new plug, oil, air filter. Check valve adjustments. It run like new forever if you take care of it. As for the trans start with the cable. See if its adjustable if so try to adjust it, then check belt might be worn. Still having issues check drive gears on axle and wheels see if they are worn still have issues crack it open check for metal shavings and obvious damage repack with grease. That deck is a good one and the engine has plenty of power the weak spot on those mowers are the trans

It wouldn't prime so I put a carb kit on it. Still won't prime. I really thought that new gasket between the air filter and the carb would do the trick. There was no gasket there before. The bulb is the only other possibility and I don't see anything wrong with it.
This one seems okay now except for that priming thing I mentioned. I'll check the valves if I have time... I think you're right about needing an adjustment.

It cuts great. I changed the oil a couple of times and it pretty much stopped smoking. Somebody had turned it up wrong way and got oil all in places it shouldn't be. Also think the guy left it outside and got some water in the oil.That's a nice machine and that's a good engine

Bad experiences with JD? I haven't owned any mower long enough or been impressed enough to become a fan of any brand. I'm pretty crazy about that exmark 21 tho. I did have that JD JS63 I bought for 10 bux. That thing would mulch grass like crazy.
I had a few reasons for wanting this. Cheap way to try out a zreo turn. And I'd seen vids of it cutting grass like a winner. And this one runs great and everything works. I've read all the bad stories about it. It's too complicated and the parts are expensive and the steering takes some practice. I probably won't have it long but we'll see. I know I like it better than the BOP 36. If a twin hydro WB comes up cheap I think that might what I'd really like. I'd love to have a pro ZTR but deals like that Toro last week don't come up often. One thing I can say for sure about the SST. I need a trailer if I want to go out mowing with it. The seller helped me load up and he had good humped ramps and it was still tricky. The front wheels have a mind of their own. It fell once but it fell just right resting on one of the ramps and we were able to lift the front and straighten it out. Had to ease it down and take it out to the road where there was a good incline to get it on my truck. I had to use a lot of improvising to get it off the truck when I got home. I got a neighbor who's always there when he needs me but not the other way round

Got a couple freebies last week. Murray push mower and Honda Harmony 215. The Murray was one of those Briggs primer models like that Toro I had a while back. It was an easy fix. Cleaned the carb and doubled gaskets on it. Starts on first pull :thumbsup:
The Honda... nice mower w/ bbc but the crank would turn about 180 degrees and then bang into something and stop. The shaft key was fine. The valves were fine. Put a screwdriver on the top of the piston and it doesn't move at all. Guess I'll add another Honda transmission to my collection. If those things ever become valuable I could sell them

That should go in a separate thread :frown: Call it Steal for today :thumbsup:
I picked up this Tanaka blower for 150. Not a steal but a deal. I almost passed on it when I saw it had no air filter or filter cover and was caked with dust. Seems to be fine tho. I found a filter with a silicone seal and have that stuffed in the housing for now. It blows almost as hard as that big Redmax I posted about awhile back. You can set it down on pavement and throttle it up and it will spin

Nice blower. I got a trimmer or as you would say I stole a trimmer had no air filter cover. Never put one on it and still going strong. Gave it to a buddy.
Always can get a good deal from a pissed off woman.

That should go in a separate thread :frown: Call it Steal for today :thumbsup: I picked up this Tanaka blower for 150. Not a steal but a deal. I almost passed on it when I saw it had no air filter or filter cover and was caked with dust. Seems to be fine tho.

Exotion should like this. I picked up a couple of old Toros w/ Suzuki engines. They don't work but I think they will with carbs rebuilds and fuel lines. Decks and wheels/tires are good. Transmissions work but one needs a cable. Need new starter ropes. $40.
The guy had 4 of them but I only had enough cash on me for 2 which is fine cuz I really only have room and need for one.

I saw a rebuilt block on Dallas CL... guy wanted almost 300 for it. Sriously? I built an engine w/ forged pistons/rods and ported & polished heads and exhaust manifolds (turbocharged... gotta have that flow:biggrin onece. Maybe I'll see what I can do with one of these
The only thing about these is the parts are pricey. 5 bucks for a carb gasket :O
And the drive cable looks like the exmark drive cable so I know thats gonna be $45 right there. I haven't even checked the blades on them. The belts work but I wouldn't want to take a chance on them. Still I won't be spending much more than I spent on the crappy lawnboy.

I just joined so I'm not too sure of your rules, but I have a cool "invention" for lawnmowers...Now you guys might not be too keen on it so I'd like to hear your input...Its called the Tiger Tiller and it converts a conventional mower into a tiller. Not meant to replace a sod-cutter, but more of a tool to make the task of removing dead grass easier...And just so you know...If it ever ends up in a big box store- I'll be helping vererans in wheelchairs with the money!

I'll concede that if you were aggressive and were not cautious that certainly could be the result... I'd also add that I wouldn't necessarily put one on my prized mower! Having said that I used them on many different mowers, always being careful - and NEVER broke any of them. And to put it into perspective, I encountered many a broken mower, destroyed by in-attentive workers. The secret to this device is NOT using it where rocks are prevalent, and again - to be cautious. The object is to make the project easier, not to destroy your equipment!
Originally, I didn't even own a push mower and used it on my Dixie Chopper, and with your foot always on the deck lift lever, if I encountered roots and such, I would simply lift the deck. You also must understand - Most often I was tilling in yards that were sodded with St. Augustine sod, and when that sod was put down it came with 1 1/2" of dirt, and that was as far down that I was tilling...

Nothing to get excited about here but I picked up a mower for $30 today. Scotts turf vac3 or something like that. Looks barely used. The pull cord broke and the guy bought a new mower. Let this one sit up a couple of years. I had a new rope on in about 15 minutes. Put some gas in...tank was bone dry. Thought maybe this guy did better than I thought so I primed it and there's gas shooting out the primer bulb. Its a vented bulb so I knew the float was stuck. The carb was super simple and easy to remove. Sure enough there was thick varnish. Soaked the carb then cleaned it up good and reinstalled it. The mower started right up and runs like a top. Never heard of Scotts mowers but I'm thinking its a cheap HD type mower. Has a good looking deck though. Looks like it might have some decent vacuum action. Has a bag and mulch plug too :thumbsup:

Got a Craftsman edger for $30. Cleaned the carb and runs like new. Looks new too. Thought the 4hp might come in handy for those overgrown lawns where the Stihl struggles.
Bought an Echo power pruner for $50. Bought a new carb for $20 and runs perfect. Sold it for $150 and wish I hadn't.

Got a couple of scores today I think. The first one was okay. Honda HRT216tda for $70. It needs a new carb. The second deal may be better I'm thinking. I picked up 2 '08 Toro 22187s.
One runs but is gonna need carb work and an air filter & filter base. The other needs a new carb, air filter and the entire housing, and a new starter. They both have FJ180s and both have working transmissions. Bags too but they'd need patching. They're pretty ratty looking but but I think I'll fix the carb on the one and keep it. Maybe fix the other and sell it. Got both for $100.
