It's been a few years since I restored my '73 149 for snow duty. We moved to Miami and it was sitting in my dad's shed. Well over Christmas I "rescued" her, threw on the 44" deck and put her to work on my 1/4 acre of super dense southern florida lawn. She's way too big for the yard, but it sure is fun to run the hydros, scalp the grass, and make a lot of noise!
