Went to an auction yesterday and came home with a Ford 515. The idea is to use it to cut down my sunflower patch this fall after it dies off.

The mower is not in great shape but I don't have allot in it. The knife assembly is broken where it connects to the wobble shaft. I can buy a new knife assembly for around $200.00 of try to weld what I have. Assuming the wobble box is salvageable with maybe new bearings I could end up with about $400.00 in a working mower. Right now Craigslist has two listed locally for $900.00 and $1000.00.
Guess my question is did I get hurt thinking I could end up with a working mower for $400.00?
