I grew up pushing a metal wheel mower just like in the first post.

About 1955 pop got a new sears push mower with rubber wheels, that was a lot better.

Got a one lung smog producer circa 1959, used. Think pop paid $20 used then, they were pretty pricey compared to pay scales. (note: bought a running 1953 chevy in 1961 I drove to school for $20 to illustrate relative prices.)

Man, was a power mower nice - never will catch me pushing a push mower - in fact, much prefer the one ya ride around on!

For those small corners, do prefer small electric mower vs gas though, but the big ford 4500 for serious grass.
