Treepep 562 #1 Posted June 1 (edited) I recently found an old Briggs powered reel mower. I hope to restore and use however I am having difficulty locating parts. The reel is going to take some significant effort. I am looking to source engine parts for now. Model 701033-751204. I am guessing it is maybe late forties/early fifties but I do not know. Ill see if I can post a picture or three. Edited June 1 by Treepep Pictures 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mickwhitt 4,611 #4 Posted June 1 That's an amazing bit of nature in action, trying to reclaim the mower that was left in the way of a sapling. Should turn into a reel.nice machine, pun intended. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 6,998 #5 Posted June 1 Looks like it might be a Reo mower. Neighbor had a very similar one (but without the tree) as I was growing up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Treepep 562 #9 Posted June 2 Model 6S, Type 701033 and Serial 751204. It was built in March of 1954. The S in Model 6S Means it has a suction type Carburetor. Found a gentleman that restores briggs from year 0-late fifties. Pretty cool. Ordering parts and we shall see if she will fire. motor and valves are free, little or no compression and cleaned but weak spark. Thanks guys! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
