I have a really old lawn mower and I was wondering if anyone could give me some more information on it like price and age it still runs and I have the original filter
At the scrap price between 09-.13 cents per lbs, and the average lawnmower weighing between 55-70lbs, you could expect between 2.75$ to 6.30$ in scrap. Or you could throw it on marketplace for 30 bucks and someone will rip off the motor and make a go kart or something.
Honestly don't see too much unique about this one.
As a fun project, might be fun to scrub it down thoroughly and repaint if it still runs and doesn't violate any local noise or pollution laws. Sharpen and balance blade. Wheels look great.
What is the little crank at the front for? Setting cut depth?
Briggs and Stratton 3520. If it turns with a pull of the rope: you might get it running. Could make an interesting anthill, ground-hornet nest, or stump-grinder for a little while. It should have a model and serial plate underneath some gunk.
Without seeing the engine code, probably late 70s or 80s. My 1972 Montgomery ward mower with a 3.5 HP Briggs doesn't have a primer bulb, but otherwise looks pretty similar to yours. I converted mine to electronic ignition. You could probably get 20 bucks for that since it runs. Mine was free from the side of the road.
Absolute, complete, total garbage, metal scrap of no value whatsoever. The only older mowers worth anything are relatively new Hondas less than ten years old. All others are "take it to the dump" worthy.
I'll give you $20 and you have to keep it.
Ok
Generally not worth much, might pay to check names, models and research from the. net

How does firewood handle rough seas? Or is it more of a lake thing?
Sounds like a good swap?
That’s garbage.
A hoarding small engine repair guy may take it for free if you take it to him.
Put it on the curb with a sign that says “$20 or best offer”, some tweaked will steal it.
Or a high school that has a mechanical/small engine repair program. My high school had one.

That's one of those turn-of-the century mowers, very rare, priceless!

Looks like an old JC Penny mower !
I mean, firewood for your sailboat ⛵️
Well obviously it’s a Classic but it looks like early 80’s
It runs on steam? 😮

If the engine isn’t locked up someone will be interested in the B&S engine.

Hey if it’s old you don’t need a 185 IQ to start it.
