Jfv1103 Jo, Sorry for being five years late, but if you still have this machine (the Sunbeam 7019A), it should be known that you are supposed to at least have a 100-foot, 14-gauge extension cord. That is why your 50-foot extension was smoking on you the last time you used this. ~Ben

Sunbeam Lawn Champ Electric Shredder I know this already sold back in 2018, but how many of you ever came across an electric Lawn Champ shredder? There's the familiar 12-amp motor dome! Given how loud this motor was on the mowers, this had to be one of the loudest electric shredders back in...

neptunebob Bob, What model would that one be? I'd guess HRA214 or HRA215. ~Ben

DaveAMKrayoGuy Dave, I think the Popeyes restaurant you're talking about that is being delayed... I believe the delay is due to Popeyes now being under the same ownership as Burger King and Tim Horton's. ~Ben

Remodeled Restaurants Through the Years I've been fascinated by this subject for years now! In my area... Our Burger King first opened around 1975, and was last remodeled in 2012. Our current McDonald's replaced in 2000 the original location that was built in 1963. It has had only minor...

Flymo TL (TurboLite) Micromo Does anyone lucky enough to own a Flymo or two have the rare TL (TurboLite) Micromo model with the Kawasaki KT12ADV (22.6 cc) 2-cycle engine? ~Ben

Rolls_rapide When Flymo had established its own US distribution network after breaking off from Toro in the 1970s, it was once headquartered near Nintendo of America's corporate headquarters in Redmond, WA! ~Ben

Does anyone remember the Flymo and other brands of hover mowers, without wheels? G19, with a Tecumseh 3.25 HP 2-cycle engine: GT4, with a Briggs & Stratton 3.5 HP 4-cycle engine: Very rare Flymo, with a Kawasaki 1.25 HP 2-cycle engine: GLE15 electric: Allen, with a Suzuki M120X 2-cycle...

2-Cycle Engines Of all the more contemporary examples of two-cycle engines for walk-behind lawn mowers, the Suzuki M120X (or the GTS120 in Toro lingo) that also found its way into numerous Toro mowers from the mid-'80s to the early-'90s (and in commercial units to 2003) was quite a robust...

History of Hahn-Eclipse As taken from a fan site about the defunct company: http://hahn-eclipse.com/site/history/ ~Ben

michaelsemanoff Michael, I wonder if among the many mowers you have... any Hahn-Eclipse "Pow-R-Pro" belt-driven ones? ~Ben

Hahn Eclipse Mowers Is there anyone on here that owns at least one of these bad boy walk-behind mowers? That's right: the Hahn Eclipse Pow-R-Pro 22! I know there are numerous Hahn Eclipse mower owners scattered throughout the USA, but are any of you here at AW.org among them? The...

MTD Electric Mowers Does anyone remember any of MTD's 1975-82 electric mowers? Here is a trio of electrics they sold in Canada, including to Eaton's (under the Viking brand). Counterclockwise from right: 18" Standard Single Blade Mower (red steel deck; adjust wheels with wrench) 18" Deluxe...

For those of you interested in this old Wizard mower I mentioned here earlier, here is the eBay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-WIZARD-ELECTRIC-LAWN-MOWER-runs-/182466728645?hash=item2a7bdd52c5:g:BcMAAOSw2gxYsI0b Steal it for $60 or make your best offer (local pickup preferred, if not in...

wiskybill Bill, I did find another Wizard/MTD similar to yours on eBay, but the deck is aqua green. The cord on this model is fed through the center of the handlebar, but this one appears to have it disconnected from there. ~Ben

wiskybill Bill, That Wizard (MTD) 18" electric mower you have (or had)... that Westinghouse motor seemed ancient by the time this particular model was last made in 1974 (model 184-830A). With only 1725 RPM, you'd have to use a pulley just large enough to bring blade tip speed up to 16,000 FPM...

Twin-Blade Electric Mowers I have this 1983 Sears Craftsman 663.914126 (Sunbeam 4318A). Still runs pretty good, and the belts are also still good! ~Ben

Is there anyone out there, here in the USA, that is known to have a large collection of walk-behind lawn mowers? I know how hard it is to do this: space is one thing, but being able to keep every mower in good condition is another (especially when it comes to gasoline used). ~Ben
