My old lawn-boy would not start last summer when I got back to the Phoenix Valley. Since my “lawn” is eight feet by twenty-four feet, I decided I was done with pull starters and tune ups for the rest of my life and got an electric mower.
Clean under the deck, sharpen the blade every two years I imagine and I am good-to-go, I am very happy that it starts when I push the button and squeeze the handle.
I think I am going to take my rototiller to my son in Michigan. They have gardens and such up there. Down here, we have cactus and weeds that are so tough you have to burn them out.
“My old lawn-boy” Was it old enough to have centrifugal governor weights? Those things were a beeyotch to adjust.
We even worked on old boys with points and condensors.
I mowed my grandpappy’s yard with an electric mower back in `63. But it was corded. He had also converted his truck to natural gas.
Yours is battery electric I’m guessing.
I’m trying to remember the top rototiller. I don’t think it was Troybilt, though they make a good one. Some of them are like trying to ride a bull.
We sold Deere Johns. That green was expensive. And prolly still is.
