Great job bringing that vintage mower back to life! I have an old vintage Snapper push mower from the 80s, the deck is red and says Snapper in white letters that are cast into the deck and not a decal, the engine is a Briggs 3HP engine and it is white and the handlebars are also white, it's a great running mower and is built tough!

My grandpa believed in keeping stuff. He bought a self propelled mower from Sears in 1957. An old boss of mine found a block at the dump for it. I rebuilt it...for the 3rd time...it was still running and I gave it to a friend in 2003... Amazing. Had a 1951 David Bradley tractor...sold it in 1996...I still used it some, but Mom, who lived next door, couldn't move it to get to other stuff in the garage. I wish I still had it.

Sounds like Vermont, acts like Vermont and yes it is Vermont. There was an old man down the street that repaired old mowers and was good at it and had 35-40 mowers in bushes around the house. I used to walk the daughter by his place and one day talked with him. Used mowers can bring in some money on the side. He was dealing with another gent who sold those mowers for cheap at a large yard sale. I took over the business of sales and we made 5X as much. Some of the mowers bringing $70-120 apiece. One neighbor had a Honda mower and I offered to sharpen the blade as he had not sharpened it in 15-20 years-yes. Upon looking I found he had been mowing with the blade upside down and backwards for those years! Now he cuts smooth as a new mower. I waited until I got home before I started laughing about the whole thing!

I'm like that guy you know down the street, except my neighbors will sometimes complain about how many mowers I have (well at least one of them does...) instead of help out like you did. It certainly does bring in good side money, I work at the police department also but this pays nearly as well! Impressive how much you improved sales, I could use a salesman like you. Funny how people can be so ignorant about the workings of everyday machines!

@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 Nice to know your handle and some history. I am in a burb of Chicago and worked for years in printing and now make custom furniture with woods I buy and mill from Wisconsin. You can see my work by clik on Vincent Rolfe (there is another person in UK with same name-bar hopper type). You have the skills; if we lived closer we could work together on the furniture and you could 'leave yer guns at home'. My Rolfe family came over from UK in 1635 and settled in Newbury MA. The house is on Rolfe's Lane over there. Sister and I went back to Newbury for 350th anniversary after proving linage to the society. I have traced all over the US and Canada and Mexico. There was an Asian lady across the street whose Korean war husband never taught her to read and write English. He died and she gave me his 42" JD rider mower (cause she did not want to be reminded of him-I guess). The cheaper model it was. I sold it for $800 and made a video of running the thing wide open in our back 40. That vid really sold that one. There is more money in used stuff than in new items. I'm still running a 22" staggered wheel magnesium deck, 1973 1-3/4hp Briggs mower I bought new. Will make a vid of it when have the time. Good luck over there
