I took photos of mine, not for sentimental reasons but for artsy fartsy reasons. It took on the look of a grizzled old lawn warrior. It took quite a beating from us over the years.
The “Greatest Generation” like my dad, never got rid of anything. He’d just let it graze in the back pasture until Ma Nature (ie rust) reclaimed it. Gotta treat old friends with respect!
I bawled like a baby taking my first Camry in for trade-in because the repairs were too expensive. It had taken me through so much….oh, you’ll have to excuse me….
plugers don’t bring ANYTHING to the dump! is anything actually that broken that it can’t be fixed? worst case, strip it down, separate it into aluminum, steel, plastic, & recycle it!good aluminum is bringing good money & steel isn’t that bad, either, just separate it & keep the trash out. plastic goes into “single stream” recycling
We would gladly take it in trade for a new Toro, or other quality brand we carried. We would recondition the old machines, and sell them for a nice profit; usually more profit than we made on the new machine..Of course, some of you think profit is a four letter word! If so, you are very poorly educated. After all, profit is a six letter word…
My Plugger dad made trips to the dump, not to drop things off but to see what he could find. The workers there fished usable items out and lined them up where others could have them. Dad brought home some great stuff. Also, if he needed a part to repair something, he could often find it there. Try that today and you’ll be arrested, if you don’t catch some terrible disease.

As far as I can remember, my father still owns the lawn mower used during my childhood, youth, and adulthood and it still works wonderfully.

I bought a Lawnboy Gold 6.5 hp around 1990 and it still starts by the third pull.

Take it to the dump? You’ll fix it again someday. Never take it to the dump!
