definitely worth more than 100euro each scrap weight alone . to a vintage enthusiast depends on make of mowing machine and certainly worth a few quid if machine is moving and there are a few tricks to get even jammed ones freed so bide your time free it out and you have a nice few quid.
pity you didnt tell us the make and model and year it should be on a plate

they were made by picerse of wexford , i didt see a number on it

why not try see if it moves, start from there don't dog it if its jammed lubricate and clean it for a start and clean off cogs etc. paraffin is as good a penetrating oil as any. had one years ago and father sold it for scrap while i was on holidays ,could have c***** d him
saw a chap light a small fire under gearbox to free it out oil had gone like tar, it worked after a few times. i thought he would destroy it

Not unless they weigh 1000kg each..scrap is lower at the mo, c.a €100 a ton..better off selling it as a project OP, bang it up on Donedeal and let some other crazy lucky sucker punter do the freeing off. Some people like doing stuff like that and will pay good money for a bit of hardship.

sorry didnt mean as scrap value broken up just value of machine scrapped in parts to vintage enthusiasts. thats why i recomend to free out if possible by oiling and not dogging it to free it out as you may damage cogs and then it is really scrap, a machine with all cogs intact is worth something.
one freed out even just half turn of wheel is of more value to enthusiast who sees a hope of restoring it completely. its some thing ive seen done. but i for one certainly will not. no siree:D
