    How much do you think its worth

    alright i got to chance to get 2 riding lawnmowers, a cast iron tranny, a transfer case, and possibly a body to a truck. the guy wants $100 for it all. what would the riding lawn mowers go under as? i heard #2 but just thought id check. and anyone have a guess on the weight? let me know what you guys think

    I'd guess the riders at 4-500 pounds each; The transmission at 3-400 pounds; The transfer case at 150 pounds and the truck body (8' pickup?) at 100 pounds. So, about 1350 to 1650 pounds. I'd say $100 is high. If you take them in "as is", you'll get Light Iron for the riders and truck body at least. Maybe #1 Iron for the transmission and transfer.

    edit: I've taken mowers (push and riders) to OneSteel in Oakland. Went as Light Iron.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
