My mower didn't come with a cord either.

In fact, I had to scrounge around to find an extension cord that
would fit in the mower's power recess. This mower was manufactured
before ground wires were invented, so an ordinary extension cord
simply could not be pressed into the cavity containing the male plug.

Truely, it's an adventure to be operating an electrical device
devoid of a ground wire or polarized plug - and not even double
insulated! A thrill-a-minute, I tell you!

Back around 1984-85, I used to travel down into Westwood, NJ to mow my
aunt's small lawn (she was a widow with no kids) . She had an electric
mower which was a PITA to operate. It had a long (maybe 25') orange
electrical cord, so it didn't blend in with the green grass. .I hated
it. After I used it a couple of times, I started bringing my own gas
powered mower to do the job.

On the other hand, I'll no longer have to go get gas; the power company
delivers electricty right to my home!

They don't here.
