I received a picture of two mowers a Sears and the red 16hp with B&S engine I'm not sure who made it. Any info would be great. Thanks

Look along the frame on the right side for a name plate. Hal

I have not seen it in person & do not have access to it without driving a long distance, was hoping that someone could give me a name or model & a ballpark of whats its worth.

I don't know the name or model number. But lawn tractors like those two are at the bottom of the food chain when it comes to value. You might want to check with the local metal recycling yard to get an idea what they would pay for something like that. They get similar items brought in to them on a regular basis. Most of them do not weigh more than 400 LBS and then....they subtract value from the scaled weight for things such as tires, belts, plastic or anything else that isn't metal. And even when you are talking about metal values, these tractors are classified as TIN, which is the lowest form of scrap steel and pays the least amount.

The above is easily checked out and I personally would not pay more than $50.00 for either of those tractors IF.....I actually wanted either of them. To me, both of them are a waste of time.

Running and working this time of year not much more than $150-$200 each. If they don't run $25-$50 each. Remember if you can buy a running working example for $200 a non-runner isn't worth much unless you're sure of what's wrong and know how much it'll cost to fix, doesn't take much to run up a $100 parts bill a the counter. If they don't run you're buying parts on the hoof and scrap metal. If you game plan is to repair them and sell them in the spring when the demand is high 'cause he grass started growing most guys that do that have an accumulation of parts machines to keep their re-hab cost down AND a knowledge of models & components with chronic problems to stay away from.

Thanks for replies..got the info I needed...JUNK! (was thinking the red one may be worth picking up for parts etc)

The golf cart might be worth picking up.
