Classic vintage Sears Craftsman mower

Snagged this gem yesterday at the antique power show spring gas up on the cheap, seller said it would pop with fuel in the carb, so I grabbed it, when I got it home I decided to just put fuel in the tank and see what it would do, it started on the first pull and ran great!!, mowed my whole yard with it and it did a great job!!, kinda like'n this one......

Ashtabula?

Yes sir.....was getting a little worried, chainsaws were getting snapped quick, seamed to be one of the most sought after items at the show.....

I did snag a Wright/Poulan blade saw at the show, a first for me, random pic off the web shown, the one I found isn't bad, but not near as nice as the one in the pic, most likely get sold to my workmate, he's more into the oldies and odd-balls than I am.....

I've owned several oldies with Power Products engines, all ran well with no issues at 32:1, yeah, I run these early ones a little rich....
