Trying to figure out the model name/number of this machine. Google was no help, hoping someone on here can help me locate the information. I don't even know what year it was made.
It is made by Jacobsen, the plate serial number is 63007 2298
Thank you!

I found a listing for Jacobsen serial numbers but can't remember where is was. Yours looks later than mine going by the control levers, and it's a different design. Mine has the same sulky minus the seat and tires. The clutch is operated by a simple cable with a pull-knob. The throttle is a round knob on the handle, similar to a motorcycle twist grip. 1955 or 56 model.

Mine is a '52 and also has the clutch knobs and twist throttle. This one looks later for sure.

I've got a 30" very similar to yours. Mine is a 1952 Park 30. I had the Jacobsen Library in Milwaukee copy the original owners manual for me back in 1992 when I bought the mower. I can copy my copy and send it to you if you would like? Mine still runs but I seldom use it. No sulky and at age 80 I can't keep up with it, even though I sure need the exercise. With 5+ acres to mow, I'm happier on top a zero-turn modern gizmo.

Thank you in advance for your insight on the Jacobsen reel mowers. I have a 1955 Jacobsen Park 30. I have owned it for around 3 years and at the end of last year I lost power to the blade. I soon realized the drives/hydraulics weren't engaging. I found clip that I believe is what helps it stay engaged and get power to the blade and drive. not sure which part is called, but they look like cups and slide in and out. I am attaching a picture of the part and am hoping to be able to find some replacements for it or some guidance on how to repair the mower. Thanks again.
