105 Years Old Push Reel Mower Restoration - Why Did People Stop Using These?
In this video, I restore an old rusty push reel mower made in Germany in the about the restoration process: It was highly challenging but rewarding. I learned a lot about reel mowers. One of the wheels was chipped and had a lot of missing parts that I had to remake; that required a lot of skill and patience. I worked on it for 15 days every day. If you want to learn more about this antique German push reel mower, I encourage you to watch this video. When I saw it, I was shocked at how bad it looked; it was full of rust, bends, cracks, and missing parts! At the end of the video, I made a test so you can see how it works!
More about the push reel lawn mowers:
The first United States patent for a reel lawn mower was granted to Amariah Hills on January 12, 1868. In 1870, Elwood McGuire of Richmond, Indiana, designed a human-pushed lawn mower, which was very lightweight and a commercial one in the video was made by Brill, a German company, in 1920, but they also exported them, especially to the United Kingdom.
Why did people stop using reel mowers?
Reel mowers fell out of favor in the 1960s and ’70s, probably as yard sizes increased. Self-propelled mowers made it easy to cut the lawn with little effort on anyone’s part. I hope I have caught everything, but if you have any questions, you can comment, and I’ll get back to you!
Cheers! Johnny.
