What info do you need Sean. It looks like a little bob with an early TVS90 vertical pull tecumseh on it.

Yep,
As bigted says, Tecumseh engined Little Bob.

The Supaswift utility mowers Big [53cm cut] and Little [46cm cut] Bobs were first produced under the Vulcan brand, some time in the late 1970s - early 1980s. The Vulcan brand seems to have been dropped by the mid-1980's.

So that's an early one. Later versions mostly used Briggs engines; they are still made - in China.

'Craftsman' was the MSAA [servicing dealers' buying group] house brand, so this one was a 'store brand' version.

I wouldn't bother with this one, especially with that engine. $35? He's dreamin'.

thank you fellas for the correct info, again. i just like the look of it. i may offer 10?
thanks again ted and gadge

Well, that's your call.

Too many missing bits for me, from what I can see in the ad. Axles, wheels, height adjuster and who knows what underneath!
As far as donor machines go - the Big Bobs seem to be easier to pick up, at least down this way.

The decks are prone to rusting out near the engine mounting circle, as that area was hard to clean, even if hosed out after every cut. Which very few do, nowadays.
