When I was 5 I had to stay with a neighbor that ran B Models for a local trucking company. While he was asleep I crawled up on his truck, found the door handle and made my way inside. I sat in the driver seat playing truck driver. As I sat I looked up and found a cord hanging down and decided to pull on it. Can you guess what happened next? 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49093-what/#findComment-364183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I 'm at the g/ f house. I bought a Super M Farmall a couple of weeks ago and staying up late working on it. I have the carb in a cleaning solution getting it clean so I can do a rebuild kit. The fuel was stale, so last night I bought some ethanol free fuel, also cleaned the tank. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49093-what/#findComment-364186 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wouldn't mind having one but it would take two days to mow my yard with one. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49093-what/#findComment-364259 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mow with the unit at it's maximum height and still question the height. Got to pull it out to replace a fairly new belt that I bought cheaper than the manufacturer calls for.

Freightrain Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Grew up using a reel mower with a very similar Briggs on it. The rope was tied on the handle after you started it. I kept that mower around til mid 90's? I donated it to a fellow at work who tinkered with mowers/tractors. I never remember seeing a name on it, but it was red? with black motor. I tried mowing with it a few times, but it was very narrow and it needed a good sharpening. My new house is 1/2 acre and it would takes days with that little mower.
