I recently pickup up a Thomas Greens & Sons reel mower. The serial number is F14/5406 I am trying to find out the year of manufacture and if it worth repair/ restoring.
I can add photos later if required.
Thanks,
Andrew
Old reel mowers are always interesting, especially here in the states, where you rarely come across them anymore.
So if the hardware is mostly intact & functional and you can locate anything messing... Definitely restore a good old mower.. And posting pictures is Always a great idea. :smile:KennyV

I also have an F14 reel mower in working order. They date from the late 1950;s. Somewhere I have the manuals for it too !! Send a pic. Mine is green with red handle-bars and red fuel tank. I also have the original oil can that I think came with it or was an optional extra. The cut from the cylinder is great !!

Hi all, i just brought one on ebay for Aus $100, pick it up on monday 10th june, seller said it goes but the clutch has something wrong, however the paint job looks ok, i think to leave the thing as is and just get the mechanical things 100%, its got loads of character, i'll post a picture soon. regards, Bruce from Sydney.
