No grass in Detroit? You just haven't asked the right
person yet!
Oh, wait. You mean lawns. I do technically own a mower
(but no lawn), so I'll answer this.

I'm not sure what the brand is. The stamp is illegible
and the label (if there was one) has worn away. The
make? I think it's a fairly standard, single-drum push
thrashing-mower, the kind gran'pappy used to have.
> 2) How would you improve your lawnmower?
Probably motorize it, else sharpen the blades. Ideally,
I'd get someone else to push it.
> 3) What do you like specifically about your lawnmower?
Low petroleum consumption. (Except for oil--lots of
oil...when I use it again) Oh, and it doesn't throw
rocks and sticks very fast, so no impaling.
> 4) Specific dislikes?
It's a bloody push-mower! It's the eighth task of
Hercules!
> 5) Do you feel safe operating your mower? If no, why?
I feel quite safe operating my mower. The grass
will feel fairly safe as well, no doubt.
> 6) How would you improve the starter on your mower?
I'd like to lose a bit of weight, maybe build some
muscle mass...
best
