Guess I must have been strange as a kid. Before my paternal grandfather passed away when I was 8, my grandparents had a really old reel lawnmower. I used to love to have an excuse to make use of (play) with it. Guess a good part of it was my fascination with all the old tools and equipment my grandfather had accumulated on his farm over the decades.
Naturally, my grandfather never attempted to dissuade me of this fascination - especially when it came to mowing his grass!
