This page is dedicated to the old vintage mowers of
years gone by. From the standard reel mowers to the
old garden mowers.
Here is a old Johnson gas powered reel mower before and after
restoring it.  It was built in Ottumwa, Iowa and powered by a
Clinton gas engine.  It had belonged to a local lawyer and I bought
it on his widow's estate auction
This old reel mower is powered by a Briggs and Stratton gas
engine with motion coming the large rear tract wheel. Someone
removed the name tag from the mower and the person I bought
it from at the flea market wasn't sure of the marker. So if you
know who made this mower I would could use your help. I hope
I have time in the next couple years to restore it and several
other mowers I have bought.
Here is a Stalwart trimmer and edger reel mower. The non wheel
side of the mower would be used to trim next to your house and
items. Then you could turn it over and edge your sidewalk. Just
human power with this mower.
This a Worthington bush cutter powered by a Briggs and
Stratton gas engine. It is missing a skirt and one of the metal
wheels has been broken. I will have to search for a wheel and
make the metal skirt from sheet metal. The cutters are blades
form a old sickle style hay mower and can be replaced.
Here is a old Wizard mower sold by Western Auto
hardware stores. It has a 2 cycle engine and when I
wrote Western Auto even though their files on their
mowers go way back they had nothing on this old model
and weren't sure when it was sold. It has one interesting
feature in that the exhaust has no muffler and empties
straight into the mower deck.
