I used one just like this for many years as a teen in the sixties. Amazing to see one working again. I still remember most of its operation, a very clever and well built piece of machinery. Sure built muscle when it got stuck on wet grass on a hill!

I have an opportunity to obtain an old triplex, vintage 1960. I don't think it has run for decades, but has been kept in a shed.  How much did you get for yours? (If you don't mind me asking) Thanks!
