Re: Mowing ..

I grew up using a Victa Corvette - the same ratchet & wind starter that Roddy mentioned + I also remember that the fuel cap had a built in cork float/fuel level indicator.
I did our lawns, then neighbours lawns etc for pocket money & that mower just kept on going. Eventually the ratchet starter gave up the ghost - so it became a pull start. The base fell apart & wheel axles were held on with twisted wire etc etc. Got a good 25+ years out of the old girl.
