I made fair money in high school by picking up junk
mowers on big junk pickup days (2X per year). I would
part out the bad ones and fix the others. I got $25 - $50
for running mowers. Spring was a good time to fix people's
mowers that they couldn't get started. Little carb cleaner,
fresh gas, new oil and spark plug, and sharpen the blade.
That was worth $10 - $25. The blade is easy on a bench
grinder, just balance it on a small screwdriver. My parents
were not too happy about the fact that they couldn't get a car
in the garage...but I was "self employed". Had my own
business cards printed!
