Vintage lawn mowers

On second thought, I think, it's a two-cycle. Usually, the carburetors are mounted where that cover plate's bolted on, just behind the Indian ornament. Also, taking notice that a muffler is not to be seen, often times, the exhaust on two-cycles was piped out under the schroud

 

It would, if it was possible to scamp ones self with it. It seems that it was marketted to Indians, so that they could cut flat top haircuts with it:

Oddly enough, I found out these were manufactured by none other than Indian Motorcycles! That's why this was called "Li'l Scalper." If you look at the wheel fairings, they look just like the motorcycle's wheel fairings.

I could barely see a fin. I'm guessing also a '57
