The Corvette was given by someone who lives on a small block with very minimal grass. The back and front yard are covered with trees do it gets barely any sun. The yard it full of rocks. The mower wasn't started in three years and the blades were smashed up from the rocks in the yard and also I noticed it was fitted with one of the vintage Victa mufflers which the Victa logo was punched on.

I suspect the mower wasn't used much.
