Hey Rusty-there is a manual on ebay for this right now. cool deal!

Here is a link that might be useful: ebay

Made by Roper for Sears. I hear they just as good as an old Deere, Cub, etc

Yes, i saw that today, how well built it is. They had it in my son's pickup, headed up to the Portersville, PA. Steam and Tractor show. And while here, they loaded up my very old gasoline powered reel type lawn mower! That thing hails from the late 30's into the 40's. I used it several times when i got it, but parked it and covered it up. did a nice job of mowing, but tires were shaky. I forget the name of it, but might be a National. And, the safety nutzos hadn't been born yet when that thing was made. If ya weren't careful, ya could get yer hands and feet in the "works" very easily! They'll either sell it, or restore it.
