Well, I've had mowers like that and believe or not ... in worse shape and
eventually got them to run. I've got one of those old Dynamark's with a
single cylinder engine. It's like the sea captain story...Would you rather go
on an ocean cruise with a Captain who just puttered around the bay in fair
weather with a nice ship, or would you rather go with one who has been
around the Horn and back several times? Smooth seas do not make skillful
sailors and good, working equipment does not make for skilled mechanics!
That being said, I learned to work on junkers, throw-aways, clunkers and
clankers and some days you win and others...well...:confused2:
