My best garbage picked lawn mower so far
I tipped the garbage attendant $10 for letting me have it. Ariens 21" self propelled. It sells at Home Depot for $600 at least.
It just had a bent flywheel key which cost $0.30 I am just going to use it myself though. Selling it would be a shame because most people will not diffentiate this from your typical Craftsman mower. Mowing the grass with it reminds me of driving the Benz. Very solid and heavy. This one's a keeper. Just wanted to share.

Garbage attendant? Rumsfeld's new gig? Ha ha. Just kidding... Seriously, nice find! Our garbage isn't so nice around here...

My dad finds lawn mowers that people are throwing away all the time....usually all they need is a new spark plug or something.
He doesn't grab every mower that he sees....he tends to stick to the same model (I'll grab a picture later)

I pay the attendants $10 regardless of the condition. 9 times out of 10 i can resell the mower. The rest are parts mowers. Everytime they see me, I think they see "lunch" money the same way Mercedes dealers see "early retirement" when some people pull into the service department.
