I got this from my great grandfather long ago, but I never use it since we have an acre of land to cut. I'm going to put it up for sale, but if you buy it, you got to pick it up. My great grandfather told me a long time ago that he bought it in the 50's, but didn't give a specfic date or year. I'll be honest here, I have no idea how much to sell it for, I saw one on ebay in better shape for about $90, so just pitch a price. The mower still works, it just needs the blades sharpened and the bar under the blades lowered a little bit as it's barely grazing the bar when it spins.

I found one of these when I bought my first house. Used it for a summer. What a pain in the *!%
I don't know what you can get for it, it's better as a decoration than an actual mower.

I know some people on this site like vintage things, I don't want it, it still works aside from the things I listed above, but I'm tired of seeing it sitting around, so if anyone wants it, just make an offer. Either that, or see how much I can scrap it for.

Let me google that real quick to find out what that is.

<Edit> I have a load of antique stuff, even one of those really old soda machines that looks like something you would open to get ice cream from. Has the original bottle opener on it too. I tried to email them, but it won't go through.
