    I had a storage once, in a big city. Was in it once when they came through auctioning. Was a quiet, well mannered crowd, which moved through at a fairly fast pace

    I don't know what it is about my finding John Deere's lol, but I found last week a John Deere 6.5 HP JS63c push mower last weekend. Got it home and started it up and it was knocking a bit so I thought maybe he had bent the shaft but it was dark and didnt look at it too close but it mowed so i figure heck, I'll keep it till it dies! Took it home to my house to tear it down and clean it up and check it out closer and all that was wrong with it was the blade was loose, that was the knocking sound. i sharpened the blade and shined her up and now I have a mower that retailed for over $500.00 back when they were still sold!!!!

    So now I have the 6.5 HP which is hilarious because the engine is almost as big as the deck for such a small cut and the 6.75 HP I found earlier in the year!

    My mom wants me to sell one and I'm like NO WAY!!!!!!

    Also found:

    Craftsman 3-Way Chipper: Find Craftsman Only at Sears


    guy had it by the roaad, I went to the door to make sure he was throwing it away and he said the motor had froze up. So I took that home and had my brother help look at it and all thats wrong with it was it had sat out and got full of water/mud and was just gummed up in tthe carb, so thats also cleaned and running.


    Too bad I dont need that one but I'm going to put a sign on that one and try to sell it! I figure $150.00 is good yard sale price.
