Billy Goat yard vacuum

[simonsays]

I just picked up this classic couple weeks ago. It had not been running in quite a few years. I had to service the sticky recoil starter . It also had old nasty gas in the tank. So I dumped it out and poured in some fresh. It fired right up in a few pulls. Old Briggs And Stratton is sure hard to beat.

I read a couple of reviews on the newer models and most people really liked them. One negative I read is that they will not pick up acorns. This old model does pretty well on them. I'm really happy with its performance!

Never heard of it or seen anything like it. I've only seen the attachments for riding mowers.

Back in my younger days I used one just like it to clean up trash around the gas station I worked at.

Ya I vacuumed up a few cans and other non organic trash and it works great.
