The mowett was intended to be used on small in town type lots and was essentially a push mower with a seat.

The lone foot pedal operated a idler pully on the belt from the engine to the gearbox. This made it stop and go. Blade always spun. Was not intended to be used for trailers or any other work. Cut grass only.

It has hard rubber tires. Not for use on hills. This is a product of the early sixties. Safety was not a concern yet. Simple machine. Low cost for a lazy homeowner who didn't want to push.
