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: <img src="http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/attachments/mower-equipment-buying-pricing/23548-deal-today-scotts002-jpg"/>
Good deal.
I know john Deere makes Scott's riding mowers. Do I will say you have a JD push mower.
