1981 Caldor 22" cut push mower with 3.5HP Briggs & Stratton

[1972FordF150]

I noticed that the model said 92502 ? or did it just look that way through the camera. 92502 is 3 HP and 92902 is 3.5 HP

@1972FordF150

Yes, 92500 series is 3 HP (as was former 80900, 81900 and 82900 series) and 92900 is 3.5 HP.

@ClassicTVMan1981X Thanks for the info

i trashpicked a 20" 3hp version of that friday. needs a new engine basically but then i bought a 1983 caldor mower yesterday for a real good price. i bought it from the guy who bought it new. he said he bought it new used it a dozen times didnt like using a pushmower so it has sat in a shed for over 20 years and is basically a brand new 1983 caldor mower. there is evidence to me this engine has very low hours.

[XcarfreakX]

[christopher4636]

wow, that thing really works well on that long grass!! i thought you'd need more HP to tackle that...

[tractormandale]

thats really nice to see you mow that grass because it reminds me of good ol' spring and summer. haha Iowa has really cold winters and feet of snow, its nice to see that.

A friend of mine in N.J. cut 2 toes off with that baby back in 1969. He was due to leave for Vietnam, but without toes he was discharged. He told me years later that he had a feeling that if he went to Nam he would've died. That Caldor mower saved his life. LOL.

that first mower has the max series engine from briggs & stratton they made them in 1988

[ClassicTVMan81]

B&S first produced the MAX series in August 1984. Production of these ended in the early '90s when B&S put more emphasis towards their 12-cubic-inch Quantum line.

I have a 1989 sycamore push mower, I have no clue how many horsepower it is.

[LynolsOffice]

That 1st Caldor mower I have doesn't say how many HPs it is, so I put the model number in a search engine and found out it was a 3.5

[ClassicTVMan81]

Model series 90700 = 3.5 HP.

[TheCubanMan728]

WTF r u doing you dont puch the end of the mower up!!

[LynolsOffice]

Yeah you do, that's how you cut grass taller than your mower can handle.

[TheCubanMan728]

[suchfunstuff]

Suicide machines. Gotta love 'em.

[Motorfordtoyota]

I have an old mastercut 20". I don't remember what year it is. But it has the same engine.

[LynolsOffice]

I also have a Mastercut that looks like the Caldor, it's just green!
