my granfathers jacobsen lawn mower

[chuck michaels]

does anyone have any pictures of the old jacobsen walk behind push mower.
the one my grandfather had must have been from the 60's or 50's. it was
orange with one of the front wheels set back and the grass exited in front
of that wheel instead of between the front and rear wheel like todays mowers.
the mower body was orange and the handle was white. it had a "t" type
handle with handlbar type grips. it also had an unmistakable sound.
thanks

I think I know the mower you're talking about -- or at least something like it.

In this thread about the history of the Jacobsen brand there are some photos and videos of old Jakes.
