I got the 62 original running and was able to mow the grass. I was really happy with the cut. The blades are well worn out and need to be replaced. The wife was shocked there wasn't any grass clippings to rake up.

I used very little fuel and it took me over 1.5 hrs but I loved every minute of it! It used no oil and about half a tank of gas. No need for a smoker!
I think it did a better job then the JD I've been using. Got to replace the oil seals on the 1864 still.
Onto the pics!
