    Barn find

    Got this for free today been sitting in a barn for I know 5 years
    Got it home did new oil. Took bowl off of carb cleaned and put back on put gas and a battery air on the tires
    Fired right up and cut my half acre back yard.
    Now I get to take it all a part and rebuild it.

    That's a nice little freebee....! and it runs what more can you ask for.
    It takes less time to do the thing right than to explain why you did it wrong.
