Here is one of my oldest mowers a 1957 Lawn Boy 6100 Automower. 18" cut C-40 engine.

I noticed the hinged section at the top of the handle and what looks like rear wheel drive gears. I assume the name "Automower" must be due to it being self propelled?

1957 was the first year that Lawn Boy made a self propelled mower.
