How old is your lawn mower tractor

[Bison]

You use to cut your lawn.

Mine is a 1972 JD 112 electric lift.
I bought it as a fixer upper in 96, been cutting my 2 acre lawn with ever since, it is still running like a dandy
Tractor is on its original tires but on his second kohler engine.
I have 1973 identical JD 112 as back up but it gets used mainly with the roto tiller in the garden,..i have a mower deck and snow blower for it as well.

John Deere GX75 electric start, all original except put two new rear tires on this spring. Went with all synthetic oil, change it often, cheap insurance. It gets washed 4-5 times a year & waxed 3-4 times a year. I blow it off after each use & it goes in my shop out of the elements. I keep the blade sharp 4-5 times a year. By the serial # it is 24 years old, starts as quick as you turn the key. Most likely will out last me. :laughing::thumbsup::laughing:

What if you have more then one? The one I use every day and cuts grass in summer, moves snow in winter is a 1986 with 1193 hours.

just bought a 1985 JD 316 with 800 hours on it with a onan engine, hope to use it to mow my lawn when I get it cleaned up.

My oldest still running still mowing mower is a 1965 duracrest.

It is like new. I have never cut with it but it all still works.

How do you know if you've never used it?

Because I just know.

It runs and drives. And the blade will engage.
It is in better then new condition.
