NOS Sensation Mower!!

Being the No. 1 restorer and collector of Sensations in the country... I happened upon a Brand New, Original, Un-used, Mint Condition, NOS Sensation Mower from 1974. Never seen gas, grass, or oil.

Rocco-What do you think of the rubber pieces in the front & back ? I assume you cannot mow backwards with those on the mower ? When did Sensation start using those pieces ?

By brody dog

I believe the early 70's. It's a flip handle mower so it can mow backwards too. I do know of someone that's working on those reproduction parts.

Is this Mower for sale??

By brody dog

c'mon dude.. I don't sell my mowers. If I did, I wouldn't have a museum. I'm a collector/restorer/customizer. I periodically assemble mowers with parts that don't make the cut and put them on craigslist. They're sold within a day. But they don't look like what you see here. Anyway brody, why you putting your mower on ebay??? You worked so hard on it (and so did i).

I had four and I needed cash so I still have three Very Good working Sensations Of course I still have the one you sold me -the 4 HP engine that I use . I Set the wheels for different heights on all three of the mowers. All The Best.

Oh ok, I do the same thing with my 2 mowers that I use regularly. How's that 4hp running? It was a beast if I remember correctly.

By Rocco

Sometimes when pulling the cord-it gets stuck- hard to pull. What would cause that ? Solution? THX

By brody dog

Maybe you need a washer in between the block an puller. Also it's a high compression motor, I eliminated the compression release from it. It's a beast. Does it run well though?

By Rocco

Yes-it runs nice. Any idea what the best Briggs & Strat engine model is best for a Sensation deck. I have a friend that bought a Sensation on C.list but it needs a new engine. They have what is called a professional model 8.75 Torque. Many other models to choose from. Please advise. THX

By brody dog

I'm sorry to say but all the new Briggs motors are junk. If he wants I'll ship him an original 3.5hp Sensation spec'd engine.

By Rocco

Hard to believe that B&S cannot make a good engine any more? An Original 3.5 HP ? What year was it manufactured? Was made just for the Sensation Mower? Can you please send a pic and I will show him. THX

By brody dog

Sry, Just saw this now. (thanks for your email btw). Just look at my services page if you or your friend needs a motor build. It has all the info you need there. I use original parts and will be exactly the same motor that came on these, except brand new!
