Well thanks for the info - my black and gold paint job isnt exactly authentic, but hey, silver or blue just doesnt do it for me. Those adds are awesome- thanks. I have a qualcast model H also/ also not quite authentic. Both mowers work great. The Brill seems more refined even though its has some wear in it. The qualcast is like new, as if someone used it one season and its sat in a shed ever since. Push mowers are cool - cant wait to find another...
