a friend of mine is selling a old ride behind lawn mower and i don't know what to pay for it. i have to make an offer.
Sorry. I disagree. It depends on the machine. I bought a 1969 John Deere with a 10hp Kolher engine. It was, and still is, well maintained and it works better and has fewer problems than my 5 year old Craftsman which seems to need some type of repair every year. I paid $500 for the JD and $1200 for the Craftsman with a Briggs & Stratton engine. The B&S is not known for its long life, so see what type of engine it has. If it's a Briggs or Tecumseh, offer less. If its a Kohler, Onan, or Honda, it's worth more. If I had to choose between my 2 mowers, without a doubt it would be the 40 year old JD. Old does not necessarily mean junk.

this bag fit any riding mower. you pull it behind the mower. the hose run from the deck to the bag. you hook the bag to the mower. it a large bag. thank
You need the make and model of your mower. Then go to the manufacturers web site and see if there are any accessories for it. Other than that you will need to find an after market that will work. Good luck.
I am trying to figure out which way to go. I have heard of people having an ATV/4 wheeler and getting a pull behind mower and tiller(self powered), also a snow plow. Are there ATV's with PTO's?? What size engine would you need to have. I have 3.5 hilly acres to take care of. Also considering a NorTrak tractor or a used kubota. I have been able to check out riding mowers but do not know about ATV's or small tractors. Any info would be appreciated.

TRY THAT WITH A LAWN MOWER
I need a new lawn mower, as both my riding mower and push mower are requiring too many trips to the repair shop to stay running. I can't afford a new riding mower, but I hate the small cutting area that a walk-behind mower usually offers. Is there a walk-behind lawn mower out there that has an extra large blade that provides a much larger cutting area?
Okay, I guess I should've said consumer grade walk-behind mower. If I could afford a commercial grade walk-behind mower, I would be able to afford a consumer grade riding mower, which I can't.
There are several brands of lawn mowers that have a 22" cutting area. That is about as large as you will find on a standard push lawn mower. From there, they go down to 21, 20, and even 17". You can find one of the 22" mowers at Home Depot or Lowe's or some other store like that. To get any larger than that would require that you buy an industrial mower or professional grade mower, which as you said you can't afford.
I am doing a report for my job and have googled myself to death. I am looking for the average price of a Craftsman Riding Mower -1975- current, Craftsman Walk-Behind Mower 1975-current, and a Craftsman Weed Eater 1975- current, does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could find this information? I have exhausted all options and would greatly appreciate it!
I used the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to calculate the cost of these products in 1975 dollars. To test the CPI click below:
http://www.minneapolisfed.org/research/d ata/us/calc/index.cfm
According to Sears.com, a Craftsman Riding Mower currently retails (on sale) for $1,299.99.
http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.d o?vertical=LAWN&pid=07128721000& adCell=P3&BV_UseBVCookie=Yes
By useing the CPI calculator, I have determined the cost of the mower in 1975 would be estimated at $340.34
A Craftsman Walk-Behind Mower currently retails for, $249.99.
http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.d o?vertical=LAWN&pid=07137665000& adCell=P3&BV_UseBVCookie=Yes
In 1975, the Craftsman Walk-Behind Mower would retail for $65.45.
A Craftsman Weed Eater currently retails for, $99.99.

NEWS – Matt Langley#39;s Lawn-Mowing Trike
I couldn’t attend the Shimano North American Handmade Bicycle Show this year because it was held across the country in Richmond, Virginia. But, I followed the online coverage and found a nice surprise on the cool cyclelicious site : photos of my brother Matt’s pedal-powered recumbent tricycle lawn mower (I had only seen prototypes up until now – and heard from Matt that they worked great)! – You’re sitting on a pedal-powered lawn mower. Can you tell me about it?
Ted Wojcik – It was made for Matt Langley of Portsmouth, NH [editor's note: Matt actually lives in Eliot, Maine]. His brother is Jim Langley , the chief Technical Editor of Bicycling Magazine from 1989 to 1999.
