Quoted from MrBally:Anyone here have a real push mower similar to this one? I have two. One is an old Craftsman that is chrome plated.
My late Dad used to sharpen these type of lawn mower blades for side money. He bought a new lawn mower sharpener from Rogers Equipment Company in Lindsey, Ohio in the early 1950's.
I've used a reel mower on-and-off for about 6 years on my little lot. They're really cool - my neighbors always have questions. It works great if you stay on top of it, but you need to rake your trimmings. I was lazy about that a lot last season and now I'm blistering my hands raking piles of dead grass out of my lawn.
