II'll start it off.
Rode my bicycle past a weed whip laying out by the curb, it had been there a while. Pulled the rope it had compression.
Rode home and that night went and grabbed it and stuck it in the Prius.
Ryobi 4 stroke straight shaft weed whip complete.
Dribbled some gas in the carb and it started and ran!
Changed the crankcase oil, (2.2Oz!) cleaned the plug, set the valves, cleaned the air filter, untangled the trimmer string. Filled with gas, took a bit to get it primed but it started and I used it to trim the whole yard. Score!
On a chainsaw forum I caught some grief for "stealing".
Was going by on the bike again today and there were cars in the driveway, stopped and asked. Yup boy friend got mad at it, went and bought a battery powered one, was glad I could fix it up.
Same model is selling for $300 at Home dumpoff.
What's YOUR scrounge?
