My mistake, it's a 977K
My friend kenny Mann's near new 955L, clearing the mill where my mom worked, that burned down one night. Blue Springs, Missouri, circa 1974. I was told the river of flaming magnesium from the burning Lawn Boy mowers was something to see. That and flaming fertilizer balls!
A brand new 955L on it's way to it's new lucky owner.

Re: Various photos
This is the very 977H that made me decide I wanted to run equipment for a living. I had moved to a new town and didn't know anyone yet. I heard something making noises, and wound up walking a few miles to find this 977 clearing trees for a new subdivision.
That''s me at age 10 in the "action pose"!
