HT45, recoil spring is broken and jammed the pull start
BG56 is locked up solid but I havent pulled any covers yet....
The others? apart from a cracked cover on the GX35, I'm pretty sure they're all runners!

Our tip has the recycling center fully on show as you drive the loop on the way out, it takes a lot of self-control not to stop in and rescue certain mowers just sitting out in the open. Mainly the two-stroke Victa's. If I bring another mower home, I'll be shot.
I'm willing to bet the BG56 will be the crank case bolts that have come loose and jammed the flywheel. The engines themselves go for ever and take a lot of abuse, so its unlikely to be seized.
