Space-age Lawnmower
 

I posted this over @ AK...thought I'd share it here too. :)
You gotta love the 50's when things as mundane as a push mower could have some style!

Maybe I can put fins and headlights and chrome wheels & fenders
on my 48" Scag walker.....

It has that old rope start you have to rewind the rope every time you pull it, like the first mower I recall as a kid in the '50s. Loved the recoil rope start we got on the next one.

And how do you adjust the cut height?

Cool looking otherwise.

the engine looks like a 2 stroke power products (later bought by tecumseh)

In some mowers, and this one looks like it has.... You would unscrew the
bolt holding on the wheel, and then screw it into one of several holes
not seen right now, arranged vertically of different heights. Doing this
at each wheel changed the cutting height... I had a Wizard mower from
Western Auto that worked like that.... It was the lowest price point
mower....
