I'd love one.....!

My brother had one but it was all rusted up....
And would have been more trouble to repair it...

They're very simple machines. The only complicated thing is
figuring out how the drive wheels are affixed to the axles. Be
careful of the little part that makes the motion one-way; that
is, do your work on a hard surface, not on the lawn itself.
What's usually wrong is rust, and what makes them right is emery
paper and oil.

Yours for horto-luddism.
