Greg, quick hit it with the stick!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those Quantum 35's are effin evil.
TY, maybe not now, but when the grass has had a growth spurt put an and up on gumtree and up the price to $100 or $125, im sure you will get calls. Have you done any up yet, make sure they have to walk past a collection of restored mowers to see the one you are selling. That will would win a sale every time.
I would seriously consider dumping that bucket of blades and charging an extra $10 or $15 and putting new ones on them. Re using bolts is not a good idea and they love new blades.
Fair enough what works for you and all that. But if you are selling mowers too cheap you are reinforcing the opinion of the idiots that think you can buy a good used mower for $50-80. You cant even get a mower serviced for that. And more importantly i think, you are undervaluing yourself your talent and your time.
Plus ive got a watch folder in the my ebay and its got a few mowers in it around the $50-80 mark. Its called the 'mowers to flip' folder. and i have done it quite a few times.
I am thinking about pulling the engine of the GMC and putting on a Victa base though.
It wont work. You will have to space the motor up way high.
And then you will need to find a victa boss.
Just use some car polish. Your bound to have some in the shed. Get what you can for it.
Actually, on eBay you would probably get $20 or more for the blade disc if its OK. and another $20 or so for the blade boss if you can get it off the crank in one bit. They are cast alloy and prone to breaking.
The motor will fit on rovers or flymos and plenty of others, probably get a few $$$$ for it as a running replacement.
Or just polish it and sell it.
Or you could throw it on the trailer.
Im sure i could swap you something you would want for it.
