I had to cut the grass along the side of a friends place yesterday that had not been cut for several years, kikuyu about 2 feet high. She only has a small mower to maintain the lawn area and the side of the house got ignored for a while and then got too far out of control for her little mower. My wife picked up an old PT off the side of the road the other day so I thought I would give it a go on it. I modified the carby, sharpened the blades and I could not believe how easily it ripped into the kikuyu and had it cleaned up in a few minutes. A great mower that somebody had had float needle problems and had given up on it, sure the mower is an old PT but still has years of life left in it with a bit of maintenance, but unless you can do it yourself they are cost prohibitive to have somebody repair it for you. It is why we have become a throwaway world
