I am buying a new riding mower to replace my eleven year old Craftsman
mower, and I don't know what to do with the old one.

Actually, the Craftsman was a pretty good mower, but parts were very
expensive, plus I had to drive fifty miles (one way) to a Sears service
store, and usually they had to order the part and charged about as much
for shipping as the part cost. I'll not get another Craftsman mower.

The Kohler 15 HP engine runs good, starts easy, and no problems. I tried
to think of some way to use the engine, but can't come up with a good
use.
The drive mechanism (hydrostatic) works fine, have never had a problem
with it.

The reason I'm replacing the mower is that the deck is worn out.

I thought about just removing the deck and using the rest as just a
tractor, but have very little use for one.
Any suggestions on what I could do with the old mower?

Thanks, Bob-tx


Put it out by the curb with a "Free" sign on it.

No, people figure 'free' = 'worthless'. Put 'For Sale- $50' on it, and leave
it out when house is obviously empty or overnight. If an honest person wants
it, they will knock on the door or come back, and if a dishonest person
hauls it off at 2 am, well, your problem is solved.
