Yeah just mow must not be a beer drinker. I didn't even know they sold beer in six packs.
Don't matter...i'll still remember you by that poulan you have in your avatar.
I would love to find a market for push mowers that was above scrap price. They have no value here whatsoever.

Must be bad when the FEATHER-WEIGHT TRIMMERS aren't worth the shipping cost:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:
How much of this stuff finds it's way back to the shop?
I love to watch the look on a customers face when they walk in the door with one and ask "where do you wan this" and I point to the garbage can. We do it with a chuckle and explain to the customer that we charge $60.00/hour which is not worth it for a $89.00 CDN machine.
Some people leave them for scrap and head for Canadian Tire to buy another one and others walk out with a new Husqvarna.

Id say 55% have push mowers
no small engine shops for at least 60 square miles.
Just like this guy's Generator.
Chinese built 63cc 2 stroke 1200 watt generator.
Backfired somehow, and blew BOTH crank seals out of their seats. Required a total teardown to get the seats back in, 2 hrs labor @ $50/hr, 100 dollars + 7.5% tax...
I gave him the estimate, and the information that he could get the exact same machine, NEW, from pepboys for 99.95 + Tax...SO he told me to keep the gen, he would get a new one, and a warranty, he appreciated my honesty. I told him I could fix it though, but he had his mind set on a new one.
So I took a couple hours this morning and put the seals back in...runs great. Freebie Generator
I cranked up the Governor from 3600 to 5000, it has more power for starting things now.
Doesnt seem to mind it, I held the throttle itself wide open for 2 minutes, it screamed bloody murder, no problems. It must have been turning 7000 revs.
