We've had this antique mower passed on from another family for almost 13 years. We have taken pretty good care of it I've oiled and lubed it when we used it. We no longer use it as we have gotten a new one. This one still works and still cuts. I think this would go great in some location with a farm or country motif. It also would work if you really wanted to use it. Like you have a very small space that doesn't require a powered mower.
