First gas engine lawn mower we ever had was back around 1953 after my
family moved to Jackson in 1949.It was a second hand gas engine lawn
mower my dad bought at a gas station.I thought that gas engine lawn
mower was the greatest invention since sliced bread.That old reel type
lawn mower that I used to have to use was reel tuff, mowing that reel
tuff grass and reel tuff weeds.I own an old Keen Kutter reel type lawn
mower, it is in very good condition, I bought it many years ago at a
junk shop.I don't use it though.

The first chainsaw was developed in 1830 by an Orthpedic/Surgeon guy in
Germany.It was a hand cranked device for cutting bones.I bought my first
gas engine chainsaw (McCulloch chainsaw) back in the early 1970s.I
didn't break it either, it finally wore out.
