I personally like being surrounded by objects I'm fascinated with but clutter isn't good for your mental well being or lifestyle.
I really want to pare back my collection. You end up with too many projects you'll never finish and you have to stick with a select few of the ones you are really into.

It's a shame you're not as passionate about the PT thumb latch alloy models as I believe they were the peak in performance for tackling thick overgrown lawn. A tad better than the full crank in power terms, if not longevity.
The best mower I ever used was a 1980s PT Silver Streak in about 1991 when it was in near new condition. It was so easy to start and ran so smooth and looked great. I felt like I was driving a new late model car when I mowed someone's overgrown yard with it.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
