<DIV>Scrap iron is about 7 cents a pound. References on the web come up
with weights between about 500 and 750 pounds. 500 * .07 is $35. So
I’d say the value as you got it was $35 to $50.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I recently mentioned looking for a Zero Turn mower to a friend and
he said he had one to spare. He said his wife wouldn't use it anymore so he
"bought her a new one". That's an even funnier statement if you knew them. He
said for me to take it, work on it, and pay him what I thought it was worth.
Uggh.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's a 2011 Toro SS5000 Timecutter 50" cut with a Kawasaki 22hp
engine.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Drained and freshened the gasoline.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Three of four tires were flat but will briefly hold air...a couple days
anyway, after I plugged a rear. The rears are worn out and need replacement. The
battery is weak but will hold a charge about a week. The deck belt was broken so
a replacement was fitted to reveal a bad idler pulley (I should have known
something broke the belt). So that was fitted only to reveal a bad spindle.
Bought and replaced. So, mower deck problems solved.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>First use revealed it to be a NASCAR mower, only turning left strongly, and
it wound up in our pond and had to be pulled out with a tractor! I stayed dry
and only the front wheels got wet. So internet search revealed how to balance
steering and I used all the adjustment to no avail then inspected and found a
badly worn drive belt. I acquired and replaced that and lo and behold, I think
if I undo my steering adjustments and figure out how to re-attach the foam pad
piece to the steel bucket seat I may have a mower I can use.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So I guess, after replacing a battery, two tires, deck belt, a spindle,
tensioner pulley, drive belt, probable soon drive tensioner pulley and seat
repairs my question is this...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What would you pay this good friend for this neglected mower?</DIV>
