Nice reel mower. I'm extremely jealous. My boyfriend and I really like the looks of these.

I will post a couple of better pictures later today. This was bought new by my friend's father. I have an Eclipse reel mower and an Eclipse Sickle mower. All in poor shape. Good Luck, Rick

Sorry it took so long.
He also gave me a 10' x 40' trailer tarp. It now covers 10 GTs and part of a 67 Nova. Good Luck, Rick
