Cleaning out the shed....

Hey guys, I'm cleaning out my deceased grandfather's shed and I'm a little green in the power tools area so I need some input on the things I've found to let me know whether they're junk or not. Here's the list:

Honda HR-55 snowblower
Yard Machines rototiller
Craftsman floor power blower
Honda HR-214 lawn mower
Craftsman Chore Master power washer (with a Honda GX160 5.5hp engine missing the carburetor)
Echo PB4600 backpack blower
McCulloch Mac110 chainsaw
Stihl 029 chainsaw

I'm sure there's going to be more, but this is what I have for now.

I also found a blue Briggs and Stratton 3.5 hp (what appears to be a) lawn mower engine, model #92906.

input

These are all gas operated. Some are 2 stroke, some - 4 stroke. 2 strokes need gas and oil mixture for fuel, 4 strokes take straight gas. If any of them start easy, consider yourself lucky as gas goes bad after a couple of months without stabilizer and eventually gums up carburetor jets.

I would not say any of them are junk. Some might be worth more than others (Stihl chain saw over the Mac) If they run or at least turn over I sure somebody will want to buy them. I have a feeling Craigslist and eBay are going to be your friends.
