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.

Bought a 2013 Toro Turfmaster for $400. I sold my old one for 1100 and I didn't really want another one but the things just come in handy sometimes and the price was right. No pics yet.

Picked this setup up a few days ago $500. Husband was cheating and went to jail. Wife wanted it gone. I like the timecutter 48 inch been using it the past couple of days. Cuts nice but way under powered Briggs 16hp single intek Very good deal mower , blower, trailer <img src="http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/attachments/mower-equipment-buying-pricing/21312-deal-today-image-3501638319-jpg"/>


Still using this mower.
It now has a Kohler 20hp on it.
Only bad is it does not like to start when it's cold out.

Impressive! Same hydro pumps (ZT-2800?)?

Yes same pumps.

Broke a axle on the left side. Upgraded to one inch axles.
Oil in them still was brown looked new.

Mower was on the trailer when I went over railroad tracks to fast. That's what broke the axle.
Welded it. And got a couple more months out of it.

It is a good mower.

I know I have at least put 500 on it.
Guy that bought in 2006 used it doing around 30 yards a week. I would say around 2200 hours.
