yeah, I've replied to him twice, the second time requesting pics of his own...like a lot of these people, he falls silent...possibly an old-timer who does not spend much time on line.
At first i half-suspected he was probably full of it, but your enthusiasm for his suggestion now makes me question that..saying he has one NOW seems potentially more credible than "my old man had an old mower and I'm sure it was just like that one"..
