I grabbed this at the tip today for $40 with new blades & air cleaner on it, took it home and it had fuel and it started first pull, gave it a run around the yard for a while and it runs perfect, took it down to the second hand shop and sold it for $130, it's just too easy sometimes.
Always amazes me the stuff people will just chuck and not even bother trying to sell it. Good for some of us though, I got my Rover Rancher 17 HP 32" Autodrive from the tip in exchange for 8 fence posts I cut on my block. A battery and an oil change plus a few minutes with a drill and a welder and she goes like a rocket.
