My brother has a 1 acre lot about a half hour away from here, where he plans to build at some point, there used to be a house, there, but the prior owners knocked it down, and did a half-hearted cleanup. (looks like they shoved the wreckage into the foundation/crawlspace) he takes his rider up there to mow, but was looking for a "craigslist Special" push mower that he could leave in the shed up there and not wreck his good pusher on the drive back and forth.
My buddy recently inherited a house when his Husband's Grandfather passed, they took their own used mower with them, and now have purchased a cordless electric model.
knowing this i asked him if he had a used pusher that needed a new home. he did, and the other day brought me the better of the two, the late grandfather's mower.
it's an Old Lawn Cheif, with a 3.5HP Briggs (box on the front says "System 2 manual start".)
not sure how old, couldn't find much with the model number listed...
I know the brand was exclusive True Value Stores, but that's about all the internet gave me....
little further digging, it does have the safety blade stop lever, which was apparently mandated in 1982. so, I'll assume that 82 is the oldest it could be...
anywho, The Pics!
