I just acquired a second set of Jacobsen ground driven reel mowers, my first set I bought from a golf coarse about 15 years ago and they had sat unused rusting for years before I got them,
but I still used them for 10 years though worn out I got by, when we moved 3 years back I scraped them and bought a 60"3 point mower that works ok but I have still missed the cut and the fuel savings of the reels, so after 3 years of looking on Craigslist I found a 5 reel set for $100
this set is in way better shape, blades and bed knives are much better but all the seals are bad so I'm rebuilding 3 of them with new seals, gaskets.
I have the parts and a manual but I have been looking someone that has worked on them before because some questions
thanks
John
