Im normally a wheel horse guy but ran across this NOS push mower powered by a Clinton and just had to have it. Anyone have any info on the mower? Its dusty in the pic but brand spanking new!

NOS? Cool!! That is one very miraculous find for sure! Was it in the original box when you found it?

What are your plans with it?

I unfortunately don't know too much about it, but I would imagine some other people that do will be chiming in here shortly.

Plan on cleaning it up and taking it tonshows with my horses

That's pretty cool!

Are you going to run it (-assuming you haven't already) or keep it as-is?

Do you know what brand of mower it is? Reminds me a little of a LB body with the offset wheel.

For now i am not going to run it.... If i do then its not NOS so not jumping right into ruining its status yet

There were a lot of similar ones made in that era. When my dad bought our old house in 1956, the sellers left behind a mower with a very similar deck, except there was a large nameplate on the front that said Red Bird. I have not been able to find any info on that brand, either. After the engine on that was accidentally ruined from hitting a small hidden stump, the deck and handles sat for a while until I came along as a child and started following my dad around with it when he mowed. My toy mower was not a little plastic thing.
