Got this for $50 off FB marketplace. 12.5 hp motor had a dropped valve. I had a 15.5 motor with nothing to do.
Had to buy a coil and oil. Mows nice.

Actually giving it away. Or keeping it and giving away my old Snapper. A buddy has been wanting one for quite a while so one will go to him. Ive fixed up and sold a couple of these old Snappers and they sell fast. They are great if you have a small yard to mow.

Thanks for 'paying it forward', Jack!

If I only had a dollar for every time I have heard that...
Nice job on the mower.

Thanks. I am letting my buddy have the one in the pic and keeping my old one. It has tricycle handlebars and I sort of like that.

Picked a dumpster got a bunch of stuff but a few of the better finds are this milwaukee beer sign complete with dog pee and 50 pcs of drywall corner bead. Worth over 200 at blowes.

Nice to have the blackboard! You can hang it up and write a inspirational quote or two on it.

I have a white board next to my garage man door with the same.

These are the two I have on mine........

Someone threw away a plane. Went to the dump this afternoon. Found this rudder, Empenage, mangled flaps.

Not a garage sale but a score
Home Depot were clearing these out in the winter. I finally got around to putting it together.

Eight Patio Chairs for $75. They are in new condition. I also bought two large tubs of Preen Pre-emergent for $10. This was from an estate sale and I was first in line

Guy in town stalled out on his project. Too small for me. But the wife and kid should have fun on it.

^^^^ Is this a "Where's the Heeler" pic?

There was a storage unit sale in the little town of Santa Fe, TX. 90% trash, but I saw this old leather satchel. I looked inside and it seemed to have some old cameras. The lady said, "how about 10 bucks?" Well, when I got it home, I realized that these were more than just old cameras.

+ Canon Rebel T3 with a 75-300mm lens, an 18-55mm lens and 32gb SD card
+ Canon Vixia HF G40 video camera with 512gb and 32gb SD cards
+ Canon Vixia HF R700 video camera with a 32gb SD card

Along with various chargers and batteries and a throwaway pair of binoculars.

You never know!

Not a big score, but I bought a leather belt off eBay for $1.55. After shipping and taxes, about $8 to my house.

The catch is, it is 72" long. I find it hard to imagine a guy who needs a 72" belt.

But, my wife bought a saddle with a nylon latigo. A new leather one from the farm store is about $30. Punch a few more holes in this belt, and it's going to work just fine. I might use the buckle on one of my belts, it's pretty nice.
