I sell used mowers also..... Weed whackers also.... I get a lot of my stuff from the local Can Man recycle center..... People will have something and it won't run so they put it to the road or sell it by weight to the can man... I buy the stuff by the weight also..... Usually it's a easy fix..... Mostly fuel related problems.......or a coil......

Even though a engine is not running I get the used parts from them if the engine is whole......

Some stuff I get on the side of the road but it's not often..... There are people that pull trailers and they ride around all day looking for scrap metal......
