With all them old mowers how come yer grass looks like shit? LOL, Sorry man had to mess with you. I'm so glad I stumbled across these old machines, they are so intresting. I remember my first cut fnger, or maybe the first cut finger I remember, came from a old push reel mower. I was maybe 2, had my bibs come to think of it, damn I was a cute baby. I couldn't leave the mower alone, dad told me to, so I cut my finger, not bad I don't think, I remember screaming bloody murder.

@505197 Too many toys to play with. No time for a manicured yard! LOL!

does yours have fully metal wheels? mine has metal wheels but the corragated outside part of the wheel is rubber.

[Cletrac]

@1944johndeerel The wheels on mine are cast iron. I was told that the rubber covers like you have were optional equipment. I had a Moto-Mower Standard model years ago that had the same rubber covers on the wheels.

Does yours have the sickle mower on the front like mine does?

[1944johndeerel]

@Cletrac is the little drawbar mine has also an option? i assume its for pulling a sulkey.

[Cletrac]

@1944johndeerel They did offer a sulky for these mowers, so I would guess your hitch would be optional equipment.

DUDE I've seen stuff like this for sale in my Cincinnati Times-Star News Papers!!! It's from my collection of papers from the early 50's!

Love the sickle. For years, I rode on a jacobsen F10 mowing grass at golf complex and adjacent contract mowed land, and the only thing that didn't go well was thick stemmed weeds that would lay over and just get marked up a little by the knives. An attachment for a sickle for one pass in every 5 would've been great to keep those knocked down.

So nice to see an original, old piece of equipment that hasn't been painted and "restored". I like to keep 'em in good running condition, but as original as possible. Looks like it may just need a chain and some grease, eh?
