    Used mower pricing.

    Since The cheapest MTD mower is over $2200.00 and the Husqvarna is $2899.99 what would be a fair price for a good used mower? Around here if I ask $500.00 for one, they think you are trying to rob them. I don't sell junk I go over them and fix whatever it needs. Never have had but one complaint...

    Elect. Mower History

    When was the first electric mower used . I recall one in the 1950's , I never used it but I have the switch of one of about that era that turns my old table saw on and off . I thought it appropriate because the T S is a 1947 Sears Roebuck that I can turn on and off with my knee .
