Another mower project Been sitting for about 8 years. New plugs, drained gas, took the carb off and sprayed it out with Gumout, new fuel filter. Had a prob with the mikuni pulse fuel pump. Took it off and beat on it a few times New filters, changed oil, newer batt from other mower Looks like hell, needs blades sharpened. Ok to take around the catfish pond and our campsite on the back of the property. And yes; Caribou Sherbet, we have 2 bush hog decks and use them for heavier applications For hideous consideration 2001 Craftsman 22hp

i have a half dozen similar out back. i grab any i see for free/cheap. latest score was a scotts branded JD from 2002. thing is a beast. it went to camp. sounds like a c130 when running the deck. i like bringing those things back to life. currently trying to figure out a mid-80's craftsman II belt issue. idler is fugged up and eating belts which cost more than the tractor.

Our farm had an old Snapper 8HP in the barn when we bought it. I brought it back to life for the rocky section of the yard. All fun until the dry rotted tires went flat.
ETA: Mowers like anything else are hard to come by in certain parts. Wife had a friend in NY that stated he couldn't find a used mower for less than $3500. Sounds like money could be made.

That last red one would be hard to beat in an ugly contest.

If not rusted out, the decks are worth some $$ to the right guy..

I scrapped two Husqvarna 18 hp last month
Took the starter, carbs, linkages, fuel pump and the main heavy battery cables.
Have a 3rd husqvarna I’m going to start working on. Do a carb swap. Fuel was going into the crank case for one thing. Lol 😐
