thanks Wrager, I took a look at those two and all the rest. There are some cute and unusual machines that have been built in the past. Too bad they are scattered out so far away that I can't go and buy any of them. Some are priced pretty cheaply. Sure wish I would have kept the two I had they would have really been neat to restore.

My Dad had one of those Mustang riders when I was a kid. I had to mow a fairly large yard with it for several years. It was a steaming pile of dog squeeze. I hated it. When we finally got a Murray rider, it was like going from a Pinto to a Bentley. At least the Mustang taught me about some basic mower maintenance, since it required A LOT.

These have always been small. Some models smaller than others:

I have seen some of those little Snappers. May look to buy one next year to restore. That is if I can talk my wife into it. Ha. Got my Yardbug to finish first.
