my oldest mower

http://i568.photobucket.com/albums/ss125/oldfatguy/20090816124707.jpg

is this 1950 toro star lawn, it has the briggs npr6 engine, it is a big heavy brute that still runs and works perfectly. I also have two Sensation lawn mowers from about 1971, the Sensation may be the best lawn mower ever made

Do you have a picture of the Sensation mowers? What's special about them?

Hey I thought I remembered that name... They were a nice well made cast aluminum body with very basic light weight maneuverability in it's design... Here is a video of one this guy has repainted... IF this is the model oldfatguy is referring to...
YouTube - Bobcat- Sensation 21 inch mower
Good mower... :smile:KennyV

yes that's it, I have two a 18 inch and the 20 inch , out of all the antique mowers that I have those two get the most use. They have a nice thick cast aluminum deck that will last for ever. The bagger attachment is rather hard to find it was a metal frame with wire screen sides that fit on the pin over the chute. In 1970s they were one of the better made mowers out there.

I watched the video -- thanks KennyV.

I happened on this video of a 1937 Jacobsen -- almost all original. And, yes, it's a two-stroke.

Thanks for the reminder of how "handy' the loose rope pull starters were...:laughing:
I do remember the first time I came across the auto rewind recoil starting rope system... I thought it was almost magic....
