Are the wheel horse lawn sweepers rare? The model # 7-2512 and it works ok, but it needs some TLC. The front wheel weights are nice, gonna get them cleaned up and mounted tommorow.

I know that "it's what it's worth to you", but what would you think they are worth?

Purchased this one in a similar deal...not telling what I paid for it but have seen them on fleebay for $200.00...but we all know that is the exception.

This was taken before the power wash. My only problem is the bottom of basket (plastic) has separated from the sides (fabric).

prices vary so much depending on location and what a buyer is wanting to pay,if you look on ebay you can get a close idea to the price of an item.

The "today" price of the equivalent sweeper from Lambert is $570.

I bought this one for $50:

So........ I guess it's safe to say the value is somewhere between free and $570 :thumbs:

I love when something pops up like that........congrats on the find.

My sweeper was pretty cheap........granted the basket is in pretty rough shape, but can be re-done.

Great score on the wheel weights!

Thanks guys. I ran into a problem with the sweeper. One of the wheels is all messed up. I found out that there was a spacer missing and the small gear on the brushes axle chewed up the inside of the wheel. I can get the small gear but the wheel is NLA. Any ideas or if there are any other makes that would have usable parts?
