If you're mechanically inclined and like to tinker, a older mower or other OPE is a great way to learn... I bought a new mower back in '71 when I bought my first home, since then it's mostly been freebee curb finds(Snapper only)... I did pay $60 for a second Snapper just after we moved into this house, that was in '96... I've probably spent close to $250 myself, buying & keeping them going but that dates back to 1985 when I inhered the first Snapper from my grandfather... Was well under the $250 figure till last year, that when I spent approx $85 for parts and a parts mower when I built the Snappahond(Honda powered Snapper)...
