I had an OMC 2 stroke lawnmower for a few years. Magnesium deck.

When it died, the motor etc went in the trash and the deck was broken up for "brightening up" bonfires.

I wish I had restored it, but I was younger, it had been given to me free if I could get it to work, it served its purpose for a few years, and I had other things, a cross country move as I recall, going on in life.

The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
(Quoted from "The Bleeding of the Stone" Ibrahim Al-Koni)
