OK, so I was walking the dog about a block from my house when I stumbled upon a craftsman 10.5/29 model C950-52820-0, s/n 004199 9004 in excellent condition. It was sitting at the end of the driveway with a "to give away" sign on it, also saying the the speed control didn't work.
Needless to say I wheeled it home in a flash. Popped off the bottom service cover, & low & behold, the friction disk & drive plate were covered with oil. A bit of brake cleaner & 10 minutes later everything seems to be fine.

Question 1 is should I feel guilty about keeping the machine?

Question 2 is where can I find a manual for it (kinda answers question 1)

Cheers

My wife has a 6' 2", 250 lb. niece who's an accomplished "bar fighter". Despite those lofty credentials, she couldn't fix a grade school soccer game!

Well, I have boys.

But we all know the male psyche.

So if I had a girl, she'd know how to throw a flurry of effective fists and knock down steel plates at 20 meters with a .40 caliber Walther.

She could cheer-lead as long as she played at least one strenuous girl's sport. She couldn't be lied to by an auto mechanic, and she'd know better than to dispose of a snowblower that needed minor maintenance. That's the minimum every girl should learn from her father.

All the rest -- prom dresses and all that -- would be Mom's domain.

My two daughters both went to college on athletic scholarships...basketball and T&F. My 6'3" 220lb totally ripped son plays golf. Go figure.
