Person powered push mower

I know these 'old fashioned' mowers have a name but I don't know the technical term. :tongue: My mother-in-law is looking for one of these and has not been able to find one locally. Any idea where we can find one?

Are you talking about a reel mower? They are making a big comeback.
HomeDepot sells them as well as Sears and Lowes.

Reel mowers are real mowers...

We have one and it's a hoot to use. Talk about a work-out! It was my grandfathers so it is really old. My dad cleaned it up and made it so it would turn when it was pushed. My daughter loves it. Of course it's more for fun because I surely would not mow all the land that we have with this.

YES! That's what we're looking for. She said they checked Home Depot but I will tell her to look again since they have them on the site. I had no idea they were called "reel" mowers. Thank you for setting me straight.
