Anyways: CHECK CRAIGSLIST FOR PEOPLE BUYING NON-WORKING MOWERS. It kills me to see piles of mowers at the yard, sold for $.08 a pound as shred. You end up with, maybe, about $4 or $5 for a mower, vs. selling to a re-builder for $10 or $15, at least, for complete units, sometimes a bit more.
Briggs and Stratton is the engine of choice around here,see a few hondas once in a while, and very rarely do i see a Tecumshi or a Kohler The tecumshi numbers maybe 4 in my lifetime, the Kohler even less than that maybe 2.
