Sunbeam Twin-Blade Rotary Mower Model RE-18B I put back in service.

It was made sometime between Febuary and December of 1956.

For a 54-year old mower, it sure tackles the tough jobs that gas mowers would die trying to do.

  • This was our first power mower, Sunbeam twin blade, worked great for years (bought probably in the middle 1960s). Bearings for blade shafts wore out and made it horribly noisy but it still worked, sort of. Gave it to neighbor way back. Nice for our small yard, as well as for storage, lots smaller than "standard" electric mowers with full size deck and blade. No bagging option however with twin discharge chutes though.

  • I just come across a Sunbeam RE-18B and an RE-18C twin blade 18" Sunbeam mowers from the 1950's era. one operates and the other is missing a "pulley"? one is green and one is red the one that runs and is whole is the red one..the cutest things..

  • @dolo4119

    Let me guess ... you have the RE-18B, too?

  • I have one like this and I use it a lot.For small areas or small lawns it is the best. It cuts great, very easy to start and you can get into tight places with it. It's not heavy. I am always worried something will go wrong with it that won't be fixable. We very often don't get better stuff manufactured for us and I can't figure out why.

  • @ClassicTVMan1981X its the exact same one in the video 1956 Sunbeam Twin-Blade Rotary Mower Model RE-18B

  • @hymen1847

    How old is yours? I have a 1983 Sears Craftsman deluxe model.

  • @ClassicTVMan1981X will i got one and i dont want it. if you interested its yours

  • @hymen1847

    For a real good looking one expect to pay a very high price because there just aren't many of these left.

  • @ClassicTVMan1981X i wasnt asking if wanted to sell it, i wanted to know how much they are worth i have the same one

  • @hymen1847

    I doubt if he wants to sell it... these are rare birds now. I have a 1983 Sears Craftsman twin-blade electric mower and have no intention to part with it due to its obscurity of parts.
