At Last, A Riding Mower

This gem was in storage for about 5 years. It needed about 1 1/2 hours work to get it going. Empty the gas tank,sharpen the blade, grease a few fittings, and fire it up!

 It was a lot easier to work on with my chain fall.

 The air intake was totally plugged with gunk.

 I mean totally plugged! I then pulled it twice ( no battery) and went and cut some grass!

I am now as happy as this Tiger swallowtail sitting on a lilac flower!

The best part was the mower was FREE!

 Now all I have to do is pressure wash the beast and put on a coat of paint. It will feel better all dressed up, and will probably run better too.
