Yes, my older Murray push mower had the "speed control" handle, in which
you could control how fast the engine was running. It had the handle
with the bunny picture for slow, and the rabbit picture for fast. My 2
year old Craftsman push mower, does not have this feature, and so the
engine always runs at the same speed.

With my older Murray push mower, if you were standing at the back where
the handlebars were, the gas tank was also located on the right side of
the engine, but much lower down than where the Craftsman one is located,
and the oil filler tank was on the right side of the engine.

And I would turn the Murray mower up on its left side after every
mowing, to scrape or use the hose to clean out the underneath, and this
one never leaked gas or oil.


Isn't "progress" wonderful?

In another reply, if you missed it, I made the correction to the opposite
side for the location of the gas tank. Agreeing with what you're stating.

Am of opinion, if you missed it on another reply, you seem subject to clay
mud. Don't mow if its wet or damp.

See what I usually do, is when I am done mowing the lawn, I usually just
tilt the lawnmower up on its side, so that I can give the underneath a
quick scraping with a metal scraper to remove any debris, sense I have a
jerky neighbor whose a HUGE litterbug, and he likes to let his trash
blow all over the place. And while I try to avoid it and pick up all his
stuff that blows into my yard, sometimes I accidently run over rope,
string, empty bread bags, etc, etc, that he left in his yard, that blew
over to mine.

wah, wah, only cut your grass when it is dry and you won't have to do that.
end of story..

If I did that, it would never get cut, some months.
