    Bikes look good enough sell. Re-use is the best recycling, Mike.

    I would sell them. They are all worth more than scrap value for sure.

    Here in a bit I will go have a look at them. Just threw them in the corner and will get to them tonight. I did notice they have sat outside for some time in the weather. a lot of rust on them and all the tires were flat and not sure if they just need aired up or what.

    Yes, but check the lawn mower deck. Some are cast aluminum.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Over the years i've seen several brands of lawm mower decks that are cast aluminum, had a snapper just the other day . And had a few craftsman also. Just saying thats what i've experienced.

    Yep, what he said, and the other one is a Kirby?

    I'd research both of them on ebay before you touch them. Think about Craigslist on the Kirby if it's in good condition and you don't want to mess with shipping something that heavy. Even if they do turn out to be "scrap", research some of the parts, cloth bag, emblems, wheels, cord.

    People collect and restore everything, even vacs, and sometimes the parts bring nice $$.

    *I could barely see the Kirby the first time* It's an older one, I'd look it up. Nice finds.

    I didn't see the Kirby either...it has lots of stainless, but I agree. I'd see if you can get more before scrapping.
