  • In "Uncle Andy's A Sensation" Taryl goes over this old Sensation mower brought in by Uncle Andy. These tiny old machines were used for mowing in-between rows at cemeteries and other hard to reach spots. So let's get this old baby running like new again and take it over to Podunk cemetery for some mowin'. Oh, and that knucklehead Uncle Andy tries lending a hand only to end up lending his head - to a cinder block! In another funny yet informative how-to video from your pals at Grass Rats Garage... And as always... There's Your Dinner!!

    I used a sensation as a teenager, my dad got it at a garage sale. Great mowers. I liked the heavy duty bearings on the wheels. Eventually the cast aluminum deck developed cracks in the sides so I reinforced the deck sides with steel plates which I drilled and bolted on. Good times

    FYI = Sensation Lawn Mowers was a commercial lawnmower brand created by Howard Phelps in 1944.
    The Sensation Lawn Mower Company was located in Ralston, Nebraska, USA. In 1966 the company was sold and relocated to North Omaha, Nebraska.
    In 1982 the Sensation Lawn Mower Company was purchased by Gilson Brothers which kept the brand name Sensation and married the products to what would be become a very
    distinctive orange and white color scheme.
    In 1988, Gilson was bought out by Lawn Boy, which was in turn acquired by Toro in 1989.

    Cool cast base, that's a durable feature if you don't bang it against something. I had an 18" Montgomery Ward mower in 1962 or so, and it had that same Briggs engine. I bought it with $35 of my paper route earnings, and used it to mow yards in the neighborhood for three blocks in any direction. I charged three dollars for most yards, plus or minus fifty cents. There was a corner house on a steep hill that paid me four bucks, but maybe it should have been more. I had to drag the mower backwards, going sideways across the steep hill on three sides of the home. Back then almost nobody trimmed their sidewalks - but I would do it for an extra dollar, on my hands and knees with hand clippers. Nobody except pros had powered edgers, and string trimmers had not been invented yet. I made plenty of money mowing yards, at least fifty or eighty bucks a month, back when minimum wage was $1.25 I was making three dollars an hour or more.
    The worst job ever was sweeping a long drive. The wind was blowing, and as soon as I finished from front to back enough detritus had blown in that I had to start over. I swept at least four times. Finally came a lull in the wind and I went to collect my fifty cents - and she paid by check! The corner grocery cashed the check, but it was illegible and they had to ask me was it fifty cents or five dollars. I was sorely empted to say five dollars, but I just couldn't do it.
    Many years later I drove around and mowed yards for free when I guessed that the resident might not afford a regular service. It was a goodwill gesture and I made many people very happy.
