One for sale locally. AMF made a lot of things, but didn't know they did mowers. Any one have any dealing or remembrance of them?

I can't answer the question but I'm curious -- is it two-stroke powered?

You are getting that for $ 75.00 and it runs and mows and possible don't burn oil and the tires hold air you got a deal hurry and get it before some other fools get it. What do you expect for $ 75.00 hurry:licking:

Yeah I'd say it's a good deal, but I have a hard time throwing $75 at something I don't really need.

Yeah .. but if it's just an old B&S (or other mediocre engine) mower I'd pass. I was hoping that it might be some two-stroke collectible.

On the other hand, at that price, maybe you could re-sell it.

Make sure it don't need anything I seriously doubt if you can buy parts.
The AMF was a cheaply built mower and was not going to last long.
If this thing runs with NO issues it has probably been sitting for a lot of years.

While most would say buy it I would apply that $75.00 toward a good mower if it was me.

It just seems that anything made by AMF back in the 60's and 70's was poorly made including Harley Davidson. For that price maybe a parts mower.

I'm, uh, bowled over by this subject.:biggrin::ashamed: In all seriousness, I think I'd have to leave that one with its current owner, unless I was opening a museum..

I suspect your "bowled over" is a pun about the bowling sideline business AMF had at one time...wasn't it pinsetters they manufactured?
