Ok, as promised, here are the lawn mower photos.  What a machine this “old girl” is.

Notice the date of manufacture - January 1993.  My father-in-law bought it new that spring.

Next up, a more complete image.  Check out those totally sweet mismatched wheels.

And a closeup of the “repaired” (I use that term loosely) handle.  In this shot you can see the edge of the 1×1 stakes that hold the thing together.  There’s some electrical tape (below the stakes) that I used about a year the handle broke completely off.  That’s when I added the 2nd stake and the half roll of duct tape.

For a while, the stakes went out past the edge of the mower.  Like about 8-10 inches.  It was pretty ghetto.  I had to saw them off because I could only mow up against the house/trees/woods in one direction, and that got pretty frustrating sometimes.

So I’m going to keep using this thing for a while longer.  When she dies, I’ll make sure you all hear about her glorious, tragic death.
