Well i called him today and he did not like the price at all to repair it so i might end up with it ...Has a good running 10hp Tecumseh double shaft engine on it

That is the way the repair business go's. The only thing I wouldn't want here is his old junk. Unless you are running a salvage yard.

Those double shaft engines are hard to find anymore. Tecumseh doesnt offer a twin cam engine anymore.

One mans treasure next mans junk. When I am done with a repair I have no room in my shop to have anything sitting around. I also work right by my house. This is the reason I will only take on one job at a time. I think it looks like hell having old cars and equipment sitting around the outside of someone's house. Ever so often I will have store someone's mower a few days after a repair which I don't like to do and I tell them so. I will deliver it myself before I will let it sit around. What I do is hide it in back of my house with a cover over it when it comes to that. Pay me and take it home I am not a salvage or storage yard. Now that hard to find double shaft Tecumseh sure sound like a nice fat profit for someone but to me its just junk.

Good thing we are not neighbors. I have about 30 mowers the run and cut.
Over 100 mowers, tractors, and other toys.
But they are all organized in groups and lined up. I have a old chicken house that is full of tractors and parts and in the middle that I will spend weeks to get to this winter is a 1972 opal gt

I have around 60 pushmowers, 18 riding mowers, 20 weedeaters, and 15 chainsaws. Plus working on my 2-3 truck load of scrap metal that needs to go the scrap yard come spring.

We are not neighbors but many miles apart. Yes I do have neighbors with junk in there yard. As a matter of fact I own some of the land the junk is on but a woods separate us. What the neighbor dose I could care less and this is the very reason I get along with them. Its not on my yard or around my house. I try not being a bad neighbor just because I don't want junk around my house. I have seen some very nice yards on this forum and I don't see old car and mowers sitting in them. I keep my grass mowed and yard picked up and very sure not the only person on this forum that dose so.

Got to be a little rough on the truck tires laying in your lawn.

Was not trying to say you was a bad neighbor.
I actually have a very nice manicured yard
You would never know I had all this stuff driving past my house.
