So here are some pics of the push mowers I use.

The green one is a 2004 Craftsman 4.5 hp 21" that I have owned since new. It probably needs a deep carb cleaning as it tends to bog down when I first cut with it, but then evens out after it warms up.
The other one is a 1992 Snapper Hi-Vac (I know, wrong forum...:bag:) 3.8 hp 21" self-propelled that I just got over the winter from an auction. The bag looks to be almost brand new, and it came with a dethatching blade and a regular one. Runs just fine, but the carb will need a cleaning. The self-propelled function works well, too. Just a bit of cleaning up and fresh oil and it will be like new again. Wish it had the mulching plug, but at least it will pick up what I can dethatch...
I found a Thatcherizer attachment (actually two - one is still brand new in the box, unassembled) at a local thrift store. I haven't used it yet but hope to in the little narrow patch of lawn by the street that I can't get to with the riding mower. Not sure what I will do with the "mint-in-box" one, though...:sidelaugh
