The bankrutpcy forms DO ask if you've ever filed before, and a Trustee could ask that same question. 20 years ago won't make any difference to a Trustee.

Also we are useing federal excemptions, we don't see anyplace for or yard equitment lawn mower and things, are they excempt ?

They are exmept to the extent that your exemptions can cover them. You list them on your Asset schedule, with a garage sale value, and then you list them as "property claimed as exempt'.

but where do we put our part of excemptions for the auto or do we not?

I hope you're not doing this pro se. You list the car as an asset, then you list it as EXEMPT property and use the exemption amount available to you - Federal is $2950
