I ‘inherited’ 2 Eclipse reel movers (not motorized). I think they are model “L”. One has 10″wheels, and the other has 8″ wheels. There are numbers on the inside of the wheels. They are in perfect working order, although they have been used. No rust at all. What would their value be?

Thanks for any insight.

Bill

Hi — Very informative site! The videos linked under “Reel Mower Disadvantages / 2. If you let the grass get too tall …” seem to be missing from the site. Could you put them back up? After recovering from a sprained ankle, I’ll be pushing through some tall grass this weekend! Thanks.

  @Bill, Try knocking the grass down with a weed trimmer and if possible find somone with an electric mower you could borrow.

I have a Scotts 10M9. Do I have to use a special crank to sharpen it or is there a another way to get this done, perhaps with a socket wrench or something else? Thanks

  @keith, Yes, a socket wrench will work in place of the crank for sharpening the Scotts reel mower.

Did you ever find out how old that 5M62 Scotts mower is? I have one also and haven’t been able to find anything from the above web site.
