I found one of these on ebay just about 15 miles from here. Does anyone know anything about these mowers? I think it would be a good restore project for this winter or next winter if I get time.

Here it is...

Neat mower!! I've always liked those.

I don't know much about them personally, but Bernie over on MTF and LMC does know them pretty well.

Here is a thread that you might find of interest,

Those were neat little engines. Pretty high tech for their time. They did have some problems though.
