MF, some people must watch shows like that i guess I saw 5 mins of it once after the news finished and I forgot to switch channels. The mower was complete, looking pretty sad so I was able to use everything from it except the base, I put another set of handles on it because I already had those painted up and ready to go, even the blades were as new. I didn't even modify the carby on this one because it worked fine, just new float needle and primer cap. That is how most of my mowers end up, repainted like that, at least people end up with a good cheap mower
