As a teenager my father used to pay me 2 shillings and sixpence to mow our laws. He bought a Masport motor mower and was quite proud of it. He showed me how to clean the machine after the lawns were mowed. Hosing it down and drying it with a cloth. He told me to buy quality. I can remember how the machine was very solid and always went well. Now 50 years later I have still got a masport. I have always purchased these quality machines. Thank you to my father.
