Completely Restore this Vintage Rusty Cast Iron Reel Mower

Hi Everyone,

We've been using a reel mower exclusively this year and the one we have just isn't up to the job. I've tried sharpening it, which did help a little, but it really just seems to be a bad design. Many of the parts are plastic and are breaking as well, so it is time for an upgrade.

I found this mower at the outdoor antique shop, it caught my eye because I always look to see if I can find something that will last, and this mower just seemed like it was a good candidate even though it looked like was in rough shape. It is also made in Woodstock Ontario Canada, and for me that made it even better and I really wanted to do a full restoration on this Mower.

In this video, you'll see the entire process, including some of my mistakes and when we're all finished, we'll test it out also and see how it works.

This was a great project, and I'm very happy with the results. It looks great and it performs.... well you'll have to watch the video to find out.

Don't forget to comment and subscribe if you enjoyed it. There are lots of these mowers available in my area, and even if you don't want to do a full restoration, a cleaning and a spray of WD40 might be all it needs to get it working well again.
