Interesting piece. Is the building still there in Philly?

Replaced in 1910 by the Packard Motor Company Building, which was converted to Co Op apts in the 1990's

Poor guy running it looks about as enthused as I get when its time to mow.

Whats not to be happy about? Tie and jacket, sitting on the water tank and the fuel box, fire box at our knees, stack pushing smoke and cinders in you face... all for 10 cents an hour. . .

Definitely not a quarter turn steering wheel, looks like a chain turns a threaded rod that steers the front, bout 40 turns lock to lock.

And for those with the dreaded dust/ grass in beverage issue, Kubota makes a small compact tractor with a 60-72" belly mower and an air conditioned cab complete with stereo.

Fresh cut grass, burning leaves and charcoal smoke are a few of the best smells on earth in my opinion.
