Pretty neat it has the lever start too!

I really like the Briggs engines that have lever and foot start!!

It was originally just listed as an antique reel mower. Re-listed it with the Eclipse name in there. Poster hasn't responded with the series number, so little hard to figure out which model it is.

Ditto! It's kind of funny really. Those old engines with pedal and lever start, also we had the hand crank and later spring wound crank and finally electric start on the small engines. Then come the present day and how do we start most small engines? Retractable pull rope.

Maybe now is a good time for me to patent a simple non electric pedal start lawnmower.

I'm still looking. Found one, but transport is an issue. Anybody out the Ft. Wayne, IN area?

I have an old Rocket Eclipse mower that I may be interested in selling. Do you know any interested parties ?

Welcome to the site!

To start off, where abouts are you located? I would suggest putting it for sale on Craigslist and also in the classified sections on lawnmower forums such as this with all the info and photos if you can.

I am outside Findlay Ohio.

I haven't really tried to sell it on Craigslist or anywhere. I really don't even know what they are worth.
