You should restore that mower! They work great and it is truly a classic....Kind of like an old plug..........

and sharpening them is the key...unlike regular lawnmowers they dont whack the grass with a whirling blade.....instead these mowers cut the grass like sizzors cut...and having worked on golf courses i can tell you its what they still use today because nothing cuts better than them,,,but of course greens mowers are motorized in a gang of three...the secret being to cut everytime its an inch taller.

Tune it up those things cut down to 1/8" without tearing the grass.
