BCS sickle bar mower value?

[justme23005]

Hi, I picked up this sickle bar mower a while back.. It didn't run. The carburetor was all gummed up & rusty. I found a good deal on a new Chinese copy of a Honda 6.5 hp engine. I put the engine on yesterday, and ran it for about 5 minutes. it runs good, and works like it should. Can somebody give me an idea of how much it's worth?

You have a crusader. Unfortunately, that's ONLY a sickle mower. I've never seen one in person. I don't think they're very desirable or worth a whole lot - $400 or $500, maybe?. If you need a new bar for one, I have a couple on the shelf.

Thanks, I had no clue what it's worth.. hopefully, I won't need a bar for a while... It doesn't look like it's been used very much. I might sell it, and buy a brush hog for my Satoh Beaver.

I just picked up the exact same mower, mine didn't run either, it was out of gas. I paid $150 for mine and seems to work well. It will be a nice addition to the equipment for such little $.
