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 :rolleyes:
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

Nice looking mower.

To my Surprise the starter was very easy. The two bolts were easy to get to and the wires were long.
