I love it! Absolutely agree about the hot rodder statement.

I have pieced together push mowers over the years, myself. I once took a Briggs engine and put it on a Lawn Boy frame with a homebuilt adapter. The local mower dealer sold me the old Lawn Boy frame cheap with the bagging attachment because the original 2-stroke engine was shot. Lawn Boy built great aluminum decks, but their engines weren't that great (IMO). I scrapped the Briggs engine together from my pile-O-parts and it made a really good mower. The same dealer that sold me the frame sold new Snapper push mowers for $300 to $400 at the time. Mine, that worked just as well, cost me about $30, if I recall.

When I was a kid, I mowed lawns to make money, mostly with a push mower. I had a bunch to mow in the end and went through an engine every 2 years. I was using a Snapper push mower with a Briggs engine. A replacement engine from the Snapper dealer was over $100 at the time, but I figured out that the mowers that the local Five and Dime stores sold new for around $40 on sale had basically the same Briggs engine. So, I bought one of the cheapo mowers and swapped engines to the better Snapper frame. Worked great and saved me a lot of hard earned cash.
