Not that I'm a big fan of MTD offerings, there were a couple models I kinda liked. I made a trade for this 600 series rider from '93. I guess what I liked best about this series and a few others, is how fast they go both forward and reverse. The guy I got it off of had already recently put the...

The blue one is a Sunbeam, the gray and orange one is a Lambert "Wizz-Pur" 12 volt battery powered.

And this is the latest one I grabbed a few days back. Still unsure of the mower maker, engine is an early Lauson from 1956, the same year Tecumseh bought Lauson.

A few more I've picked up in the last couple months.

Is that made in the USA?

Here's a rare one. These used a Power Products twin cylinder engine, but only ran one side, the other is the compressor pump. I don't recall seeing any other manufacture do this.

Been awhile since posting on this thread. Here's a small line up of a few oddballs I picked up recently. A 1962 Sears self propelled, '87 Craftsman vacuum shredder bagger (first and only one of these I've seen), and a Snapper that came equipped from the factory with the Tecumseh 840 two cycle. I...

I bought two Lawnboy's that had replacement Tecumseh 840 engines on them a couple weeks back.

Not mine, I saw it listed on Marketplace and thought it was kinda cool. I don't recall ever seeing an earlier electric tiller like this one before. I guess your garden better be close by....lol

Quite sure it did sell.

I guy I know in Adamsville Pa. had an Aldens labeled 361 listed on Marketplace a few months back.

I was caught up in the lantern bug for several years. I don't collect them anymore but still have several. These two were the last ones I bought about five years ago.

Lol...great story. I'm 62 now and still ride quite well, I prefer to stay on smaller dirt-bikes and atv's anymore. I did grab the Yamaha TTR 90 yesterday, it's a cool little bike as well..... :thumbup:

I picked this up a week ago today. I bought one new back in '02, my son outgrew it quickly, so I traded that one in on an '06 CRF 100f. I liked the little 70 I bought new back in '02 and decided it was time to try to find another, after a few ghostings on Marketplace, and driving a rather long...

The 030av was the first saw I bought where I paid good money for a saw back in the early 80's. I still own a nice one. If you plan to make that one a runner, confirm that the flywheel is from an 031ave (electronic ignition) if you plan to re-use that chip. These saws will run with a chip, but...
