yeah, it's pretty dry on the moon, so I hear.
I had a good few years with an AP6 in the late 80's, did the inland route to southern queensland then down to victoria and back to SA without missing a beat(as they say), and plenty of urban commuting, felt like a real hipster.
I'm too ill to stay in this tin shed for more winters and summers so expect to leave to live in a civilized country town by the end of this year or early next, rebuilding this bloody Tecumseh and a final round of mowing will be the last gasp.
I reckon liking old mowers could be a nostalgia kinda thing. How well I remember mowing front and rear yards of our 1/4 acre block as a kid, begging my old man to let me use the catcher, he never did and I never figured out why I had to "rake the lawn" forever, I hated it, something to do with discipline he reckons, engendered more resentment as I remember. Still, ah, nostalgia!
It's definitely in the blood now.
Let me know if you want any off-grid recommendations.
