That intro is really brightened up my day.

I love restauration videos, and this is beautfully done! But a hovering lawn mover is a bit of a faulty design, is it not? Aren't the blade of regular lawn mowers designed to pull air upwards in order to straighten the culms? A hovering design would blow the lawn down, making it in fact harder if not impossible to get a proper cut. I guess that's why the idea never caught on ...

Only opened the video to actually see the thing operate. Never heard of one of these before. 33:19

That’s some back to the future shit right there... Nice restoration! It looks like it may have been easier to install the gas tank last though since those cover screws are tucked away.

That was deeply satisfying.

As someone with a lawn I cant imagine how bad the clumping is on this lacking a blower spout.

I also cant imagine how short the runtime is since its fuel capacity would need to be low to cut weight

Grandfather had one of these when I was going. As far as I remember, it sucked at cutting grass.

I guess that’s where I inherited my optimisticly poor judgement.

Hand Tool Rescue is my favorite of all of the restoration youtubers. He does research into the history of each tool and restores it as close to the original manufacture as he can.

He restores mostly rare and significant (to history) tools as well.
