roadkillinct 58 #1 Posted March 18, 2022 I walk by this almost everyday. The picture with the snow was last week the other was soon after the owner brought it home in 2017. I'm pretty sure it was given to him after he did some yard clean up. I asked if he wanted to sell it the answer was no so there it sits. Hope this doesn't create to many tears or anger. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,905 #2 Posted March 18, 2022 It’s a bummer it sits out there… but hopefully it still brings him joy. There are quite a few yard art machines that could easily be resurrected to a worker or cruiser. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,828 #4 Posted March 18, 2022 RJ 58 /59 the way it looks.. Gotta be a way to save it. Is he elderly need maybe some chores done? Would he be offended if you offered to keep it under cover for him. Maybe tell him it's worth $$$$$ and maybe he would at least garage it? Keep after him maybe he'll get tired of the pestering. Flash a couple bennies on him? me out here fellas! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPINJIM 1,981 #5 Posted March 18, 2022 I understand your frustration. A lawn mower repair shop near me has had an 856 sitting outside forever. I offered him a fair price for it five years ago, but he want twice as much. Since then, it's been sitting there rusting and falling apart. Hardly worth anything now. Some people just wonder you.

kpinnc 12,083 #9 Posted March 19, 2022 Keep after it. I got my first 701 after several months of inquiring about it. One day the owner called me and said it was time to find a new home. I wish you luck! 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
