Push Mower

[peteL]

I remember using this lawn mower when I was a kid. It didn't last too long. All I have now is the manual.

Cool mower. I've never seen one like it. Here's a pic I found on the internet. Looks like briggs and stratton engine. Vertical shaft and opposing intake and exhaust.

I own one like that Hasn't run since I have had it but I also never tried to get it to run due to the blade set up it has.

That’s a Clinton engine on that mower. Has the remains of the decal on the gas tank.

I remember those days well pete. You were quite a little entrepreneur with your mowing business. I'll never forget the day you sold that mower and I believe these folks will like to hear about it.
Much like this week, there was a heat wave across Pa the day you put a for sale sign on your mower and sat down beside it. The Baptist preacher from down the street made a deal and went pushing it toward home as you raced toward the ice cream parlor. You soon retuned, licking a triple decker cone. You were doing a fine job in preventing any to hit the ground, but in the process had it from ear to ear,on your nose and front of your shirt. By this time the preacher had hung his coat on the fence,loosened his tie and soaked his shirt with sweat. He called out "hey son, I've tried everything and still can't get this mower started,any advice"?. To which you replied " have you cussed it"? Why of course not, I've been a preacher for so long I've forgot how to cuss. Just keep pulling and it will eventually come back to you.

Cool, thanks for that. I'll have to keep my eye out. Symbol looks like it is an Indian arrowhead.

A lot of Clinton mower engines of that era were two stroke. So you may want to double check one before you fire one up.
