Most vertical shaft lawn mower engines will not run properly without a blade on them. The reason is because the flywheel is not heavy enough by it’s self.
So the only thing it’s really good for is to put on another mower. Try to sell it.

"Advertise" it if you have a "company e-mail" site...I work at a small college, with a "college-Personal" faculty/staff forum for listing items for sale, etc...I had 20 offers for a large snowblower that didn't work, good engine though, and some people are really good at refurbishing/rebuilding/reusing...I'm not one of them, and just wanted it out of my garage, so I gave it away to the first person that wanted it, but it's good to keep things that still/can be made to work! I was surprised that there was so much interest from this "academic" crowd - people have interesting "other" skills and hobbies!!
I listed as "must pick up"...and eBay's also a great place to buy/sell things...I buy a lot, have never sold, but I'm sure you can list for local pick-up only...
Or, you could make a scooter or go-cart or power back-up out of it, as others have suggested - LOL!

http://www.theepicenter.com/tow082099.html go to this site to see how to build an improvised DC generator from a vertical shaft mower engine. Then with a deep cycle marine battery and an inverter you will have a source of AC/DC power that can be replicated at will for the cost of lawn sale mowers and parts.

When I was a teenager, the better mechanically equipped kids would weld up frames and wheels to make these little scooter things about a foot high. One speed, roar around the neighborhood. Likely illegal now like everything else.........

A few extra parts available online and an old engine can be used to build the Interdementional Hyper Time Travel Vehicle. Complete plans are available for the undermedicated.

Bolt on a 24" cross-rip blade to the axle, hang it from a pendant on your HUS, and trim your trees with it.

Your local community college most likely has a “small engine repair” class that could use it for instructional purposes.
