I have walk behind mowers along side the road for sale. An 84 year old man stopped and bought one, so he can tie a rope to it, and mow his steep bank. Yes he mows it himself.
He told me about the walk behind he is replacing. His dad bought a new toro aluminum deck walk behind 53 years ago. It just died this year. I said to him "you won't get that kind of life out of this" He says "nope, I'll outlive this and be by to buy another one from you".
We spoke for 15 minutes or so about various things. Mainly about his boyhood and the depression, and he really liked my 51 Gravely L and my 48 Wards 2 wheeled tractor. Nice guy.
He said his dad lived to be 94, so I bet I'll see him again. I certainly hope so
