hopefully the pix will upload.... picked this up yesterday for $25 haven't found much information on it, except it's an 84" National Reel mower with the original Wisconsin AENL engine on it. No model numbers or anything on it, so i've been attempting to trace the year of the engine through the engine tag: Model: AENL Spec: 145956 Serial: 5495706 but haven't been able to locate much. Been sitting for awhile, alot of the pieces are currently "stuck" but the previous owner had started freeing some of them up. Should prove to be a fun project :D

William, If anything, it could level out your yard some. ;) How's the progress going on the mower?

well, i got about a dozen grease zerks to take grease, and i bet there's another half-dozen that are broke off or missing completely. Will be getting some zerks this weekend to replace the missing ones, and giving her another shot of grease. Parts are moving, not alot of them, but they are starting to break free. I'm thinking a few more days of WD-40 use and moving what i can and i'd guess 85% or more of the moving parts would break free :D

Mark, LOL, I used to have that same problem back in New York. I had my garage so full that the only way I could work on something was to take everything out, work on it, put everything back in. Since then, I've downsized big time. And boy, that's good for the soul. LOL. But William has a lot of space on his property, so that helps. :)

      As you know by now SimpletrACtors.com has undergone some changes lately. We need to work through these so PM me with questions, suggestions, and/or challenges so we can take to technicians. Appreciate your patience.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
