Presently? 8 year old Nueton, my second.. I expect this one to burn out anytime now, because the previous Neuton lasted almost nine years. Pb acid batteries sulfate up and fail first. Before that, Craftsman rider, mower deck rusted out.
Stoic landmaster
I weekly use a 1963 lawn boy
1966 wheel horse. I use it every week to mow an acre. It’s a beast.
It's still mowing capable, but I use it more for logging out my fire wood. It's a 49 year old 1976 Simplicity 7010.
My LB 8310 from 1978, still runs strong
My 1973john Deere 110 gets to mow once in a while. Not too much since I had redone it. But my 1986 John Deere 318 gets to mow almost regularly when I don’t use my father in law’s utility tractor.
I do not operate this machine regularly, but several times a year I get my 1923 Ideal Power Lawn Mower out for a little exercise. Runs beautifully, aged 102. My weekly mower bounces between a 1968 WheelHorse and a 1939 Ford and rear pto mower.
My simplicity broadmoor
36 year old 170 JD 5 speed
2001 Tecumseh Craftsman. Just won’t die
Still runs like a champ.
1973 lawn boy
My 1966 110 has a mulcher plug so I use it every fall while leaves are falling.
Me laughing mowing grass with a moto-mower if ya know ya know 😆 🤣 cuts like a dream too
My daily is a 72 110 square fender. You can't beat the 8 horse Kohler k181 engine.
Lawn Boy with the old OMC two cycle...early 70s... supposed wore out when I got it from wife's uncle in 76 or 77 . Ran it another 7 or 8 years...it had roller bearings and was gutsy for its size. Very impressive.
