The family mower, I've recently acquired my families first ride-on mower, not sure how old I was when we got it. It was put out of service and has been standing since approx. 2005. It's a Rover Rancher II with the 11hp Briggs and Stratton engine and the 5 speed transmission. I know that Rover were advertising this exact model in 1980 (Model: 11555). I've made a short video detailing the minimum maintenance required to run it without wrecking it (I do have intentions of tidying it up further). And, of course, we have done some mowing. The grass hadn't been touched on the flat area in a year, and five years on the hilly area. The mower has exceeded expectation.
I hope to make a pt.2 video when I have new tyres and have done some small repairs.
If you've seen our • Snake Relocation video, this mower is what I was working on under the house when the nice snake came.
