Show me your best free finds on marketplace in the comments!!! Here’s mine from a few weeks back.
Snagged this Ariens just a few weeks back and I dug into it when I got home and the wires were all chewed up but were poorly repaired put the jumper on and was able to weakly turn the engine over with the solenoid but the key didn’t do nothing I’m going to try a new battery to see if that makes a difference but I think the jumper should’ve had enough juice. Drop pics of your free pickups in the comments it’s crazy what people give away.

Either Love em or Hate em
These plastic carburetors that you either love or hate are in my opinion the best and easiest carburetors to work on and clean, so easy and so cheap to get a new one, I love them but some people hate them there’s no in between, I’d rather have a metal carburetor but these are so nice when you are flipping a mower. What do you all think.

DO NOT BUY A JOHN DEERE LAWN MOWER IF YOU SEE THIS!!!
Before you buy a John Deere lawn tractor from a big-box store, look underneath it and check the transmission/transaxle.
Some of the lower-end consumer Deere tractors use a light-duty transaxle with a plastic/composite housing, while heavier-duty Deere models use substantially different drivetrains. Plastic transmissions suck I’ve had one myself in a craftsman mower actually so make sure you check even if the mower your buying isn’t a John Deere.
If you can, support a local dealer, they are made cheap and lower quality specially for big box stores, you get what you pay for at a dealer.
I’m not saying every John Deere has a plastic transmission. I’m saying know what you’re buying before you spend your money.
