Cold start of the John Deere mower
John Deere 185 Hydro
The vintage john deere mowers pre 2000ish were some of the best built mowers ever! my 2 john deere 210’s both have a rugged 8″ c-channel frame that runs front to back instead of only part of the way! solid welded frame no bolts no rivets! no flimsy stamped steel front axle! built to last! the decks are always the first thing to go! my 1977 210 had a badly rusted out deck! you canfind them on ebay cheaper than new! just make sure of their condition!

General Information About Sickle Mowers, or as some people call them "Sickle Bar Mowers
The sickle bar mower was one of the first mechanical mowers for mowing and many of these are still in use today. Typically they are used on fairly small farms.
These mowers are sometimes referred to as reciprocating sickle mowers because the cutting bars move back and forth against each other. The cutting bars usually had five cutting blades and each of the blades was about seven inches long.
Small by todays standards, these had a cutting swath of between five and seven feet.
As with a lot of things they had their advantages and they have their disadvantages too.
