Hi Norm, MF and H,
Thanks for all the kind words.
It's more of a trophy to me to be honest and probably will never be used as a mower again. It's amazing how items like this bring back great memories of one's childhood and thus play a major part in ones make up for later on in life. Ask the average person and a mower is just a necessary evil item in their life but to others it just does the opposite (brings you joy)
I've always seen these in the past and thought what a piece of mass produced garbage, but when I saw this one and in its condition, all the old memories came flooding back and I just had to have it. It cleaned up really nicely and now it will become a nice talking piece strung up in the garage at a nice viewing angle.
Anyway back to Scotty's I hear you all saying.
Cheers,
BB.
