Part I of III.  Bought this broken in need of repair Sears Lawnmower on Craigslist for $20.00.   It's the classic Briggs and Stratton engine 500 series they call it with the carburetor on top of the gas tank.   It had been left outside it had compression,  the control arm/brake cable needs to be replaced.  Overall in good condition Its a basic 22" mower Sears  Model # 917.385111.  The blade was worn out as well not sure what they had been hitting but the ends were chewed away one side worst than the other.
