Hollo everyone ? my name is Matthew and I'm 16. I don't know much about lawn care but I know enough to take care of my own lol. What I know is how to work on the mowers. I have worked on small engines and antique cars since I was five years old. My papa taught me everything I know about the small engines and classic cars. My dad taught me about high-performance engines, he races dirt track in four-cylinder cars. I collect any kind of antique lawn mower, tractor, and old cars. I Prefer to stay with Sears, Roper, Alice chandlers, case, wheel horse and Cub Cadet. Right now I own a 1964 Sears suburban 600, a 1968 sears custom 10XL, a 1980 roper GT16, a 1954 Alice Chambers B model, And a 1955 case the VIC. I also own a 1968 mustang and a 1979 Toyota 4x4 pickup. As you can tell I love anything old with a motor lol. I know that I don't know everything about a motor but I know enough to get one ruining quick, fast, and in a hurry lol but I look forward to helping others by sharing my knowledge and learning some for myself too.

Thank you, im very excited to learn and help others if I can ? but no I'm not completely sure and it don't have a number plate. That's just what I was told it was when I got it but the man wasn't sure either lol?. But I would love to find out what it really is and would appreciate any help I can get finding out any information about any of my mowers/tractor. Oh and yes I meant vac not Vic stupid spellcheck lol. But here's a one more picture from the front of the case.

Yah I think so what I really want to do is restore old car, tractors, and lawn mowers. Do them all so I have a wide selection so hopefully I wouldn't run out of business lol. But I would also do some custom stuff to like pulling tractors and lawn mower, racing lawn mowers, hot rods and street rods and stuff like that. I would love to have my own shop. I would also have some cars and stuff for Sale in front to make some extra money too.
