I put a few ounces of used motor oil in the gas, and it smoked like a locomotive.
This is great! I mowed, and it kept the skeeters off of me!!

I have a newer one, so I'm good. This one just won't die!😆 I thought I'd give it another chance, so I dumped a little gas in, and it started with 3 pulls of the cord. It belched a ton of smoke, so I made it smoke more!🤣

I want it out of my way, but as long as it functions, I gotta keep it.
If it starts again, I guess I'm gonna have to sharpen the blade, and push it till it dies. I've already pushed it a million miles, and like the self propelled one WAY better, but danged if this guy ain't a trooper!!👍

This one was purchased at Wal Mart shortly after Mrs. Bunker and I married one thousand, seventy-two years, three days, 6 minutes, and 46 seconds ago.
A Briggs&Stratton engine that's been through hell, and still runs. I'm impressed.

I never could get her to understand that, just like saws, lawnmowers have different blades for different applications.
You know, you don't mow the culvert with the brick blade, or landscaping blocks with the waterhose blade, or the grass with the rock blade. I've put a lifetimes worth of blades on that ole mower cause if she's pushing it, and it's out there, it gets mowed. 🤣🤣

I had the Honda mini-bike, then, thanks to running 2 paper routes, and a cosigner from my dad, got a 1976 Suzuki RM-125 brand new. Few years later, I bought a Honda CR-250 from a friend.

A few years later.....(NOW) it's still in me, but my body just won't cooperate.
