Hello from NJ

I recently became the owner of a 1973 Sears Craftsman riding mower (model 536-96361). It was sitting in the garage of the house we just purchased. i bought it not knowing if it worked, but figured i would need a riding mower since the lawn is kind of big and i wasn't going to use my 20 in push mower. i just got it back from the repair shop and it seems to run great. don't think it's gotten a lot of use. i really got a kick out of the cigar lighter on the dash panel. At 8HP, i won't be setting any speed records, but it should serve the purpose.:fing32::thanku:
