Hello Bruce, I understand you may have some information on an Eclipse sickle mower that I have. It is a model 1503. Approximate age is 60 years old. Engine is a Briggs Type N 1.5 HP built in early 1950. Had been used as yard art for many years. All it needed was a carb kit, condensor and new spark plug to get it running. Amazingly it started on the second pull and kept running. Everything is intact and I have actually mowed a little with it. Lots of shake in the sickle area and I am currently working on that. I have been unable to find anything on the Eclipse sickle mower. I am willing to pay for any manuals or parts lists if needed. Thanks for any help you can give. You can contact me at 254-718-6523 or e-mail me. Thanks again Donald Hoelscher
