I found this mower when I purchased the property 2 years ago. I have been using it ever since and it turns out to be a very strong little machine..it outlasted the Husqvarna!
it has an electric start , I removed the battery..has some kind of solenoid under the switch / dash which seems a mechanical set up.
I plan to completely restore it..have bought belts but have no idea about clutch or axles or electric start until I strip it.
stil has Patent Pending on it so it may be an earlier model..?
