    The first lawnmower I ever used as a kid in the late 50's was my grandfathers with a 5 S engine ,always started first pull and ran perfectly for years.
    I loved using that old reel mower right into the 70's.
    I would turn the idle down so low it would just tick over like a watch.

    In the early 1960s my neighbor had an Eclipse reel lawnmower with this engine. He was very old and could easily start it with this lever system.

    I'm sure proud how the Ford truck has turned out . You did a great job on it.
    Those little Briggs are almost indestructible. With just a little of your magic and you will have it going again. Cheers Buddy

    I'm a big fan of the 5S. It was the first engine I ever wrenched on, a gift from my grandfather. Still have it. I've thought about restoring it, but that would erase the history of the time I've spent messing with it. Still runs good, burns a little oil.

    So speaking of the old days. I had a 5S, with the foot starter, similar to what you have in the video.
    Came from my mom's cousin, down on the farm in Williamstown (NJ). I was probably about 12. Piston rusted solid in the cylinder. I never managed to get it freed up. It was my first engine.

    The ol Ford looks great, Roadking! Good luck with the little 5S. I used to have a pile of those little 5 and 6S baby Briggs motors. While on the subject, I have got another Briggs you guys might be interested in.. It's a PB model off an old Motomower in really good shape. Still mounted on the Motomower stand. I dont think I'd want to ship it, given what happened with the Model FH and Y I gave you guys. This one is pretty nice. I gotta say it was really nice to see you and Mike fix those up when you did. Let me know if you're interested.. I've got the PB currently for sale.
