Christian Livingstone shows how he refurbished and modified a 1990 model year Grasshopper 411 zero-turn lawn mower that he recently acquired. And even though the mower is over 25 years old, it seemed to have had very few hours of use over that span of time. Christian modifies the discharge side of the deck by fabricating a curved slide gate for mulching, by TIG welding some aluminum diamond plate. He also moves the gas tank from the outboard side of the mower to the interior compartment, which enables the tank to be protected and to be returned to a gravity feed system, so that the inline fuel pump can also be deleted. And although Christian considered keeping the 411 mower, he instead sells it to a neighbor. The deck is shown to get a a through maintenance and preservation treatment. A few comments by Christian indicates his anti-Statist views (beyond the State crimes of threats, duress, and coercion in outright extortion by direct taxes on labor and personal property), regarding the State Expansion of the Fiat Currency Supply since 1990 (and before), which have insidiously stolen around 50% of the purchasing power from productive Americans since 1990, using mower prices as an indicator, which would normally see a deflation in durable goods prices, like was the case for 100 years before the Federal Reserve Bank creation, in 1913, which was followed by a State-instigated century that was arguably bloodier than all of the previous 1900 years of human history, combined.
