Sears Craftsman Electric Mower as Chipper Shredder

[kirbyclassiciii]

Calling all Canadian lawn mower collectors. . .



Here is Paul Larsen and his 1978 Sears Craftsman "Power Boost" electric lawn mower. His machine was converted to a chipper/shredder. Unfortunately, the conversion part is what makes me frown about this machine: there are just not many of these left.

How many of you on this board collect such electric lawn mowers like Paul's?

I have a collection of cordless electric mowers.Wood chipper from a mower-BAD IDEA---blade and motor not designed for this.TOO DANGEROUS and inefficient.Better to just hire someone with a full size chipper--and you save that mower for your collection!The time I hired a chipper--drum type--cutter drum turned by six cylinder Chrysler in line motor.Actually saw that chipper eat an 8" thick log without stalling!!Fun to feed-but don't hang onto the peice or let your clothes get caught!!!
