We built this ourselves; there's no bail bar.. just a handle, and no blade brake. Will supply pic of entire mower later.
Does this sound right?

Any updates?
Did it crank up?
I gather you removed the brake altogether off the engine from under the cover?

It didn't sound unusual to me, I suspect it runs and he's gone mowing!

I was thinking of the brake he maybe didn't take off the engine .....
But he is probably mowing.... Bon Annee' Mon Ami ~!~!

I don't see any cables to where a blade brake would be(left side from the operators point of view)... Just a throttle cable on the right side to the carb/governor.
As noted earlier, I don't believe they had blade brakes that early. And if it was activated, he wouldn't be able to pull it (if installed correctly)
Op, are you still around? Any updates, video's to share?

Blade brake compliance became federal law ~1982.
I believe some mowers had the brake prior to '82.

Re-reading the thread, in post #11, he did NOT re-install the blade brake (thus nothing showing)...
So that "issue" is moot..
And the Op is AWOL anyway...
