This is my little Massy
that I bought for $50.
It didn't have an
engine and the mower
gear box shaft was
very worn on the
coupler end. I welded
up the end and turned
it down. I put in the
Wisconsin engine in
and used it for 10
years. Then I had to
put in new bearings in
the mower. Finally the
Wisconsin engine got
difficult to start so I
put in the 6.5 Honda
clone from Harbour
Freight. I wanted to
put in 13 HP engine
but I already had this
one and it works
purtty good. I can
mow a one acre lot on
a half tank of gas. It is
kind of amazing. Of
course in really tall
weeds I have to drop
to first gear and clutch
it ahead a little at a
time. I see that you
can now buy little
diesel engines. I would
like to do that
someday.
