When I raised pole lima beans that mower made short work of the vines. I bought it used in 1976 when it was 2 years old. It came with a sulky, but I sold it since I never used it.

I reused the main bearings. With a new piston & rod it was like new again. My neighbor had an area at the rear of his proptery was overgrown and he was trying to clear it with a Weedeater. I told him I had something that would make cut that brush like butter. He said to get it and I cut it down in about 20 minutes. He wanted to know what I wanted for doing it and I told him what he thought it was worth. He gave me $50.00. He was soaking wet from being out there with his Weedeater as it was in the 90's. Some of these came with battery start and I could've put that on this mower, but its easier just to use the garden tractor to start it. The mower engine has a lot of compression and is hard to pull with a rope, even though I still start it with the rope at times. I still have some spare parts that came with it.
