The person two houses up from me was getting rid of there "old" mower. I think it's a 2000. $12.99 later it cleaned up fantastic. I just sharpened the blade, changed the oil new air filter and spark plug. None of those things were done since 2000.

The funny thing is, my buddy the day before said his mower has been acting up. I told him to go find one in the garbage, it will probably run better and will be free. He said stuff like that doesn't happen. He is now getting a free garbage mower.

Now I just need to find a LB in the trash...

Great find. In my area, you see it all the time, but they go quick.

Some people find it easier to buy a new one instead of fixing what they have.
