Jacobsen 26" Estate mower

[DoctorHfuhruhurr 137]

Does anyone have any experience with a Jacobson 26" Estate mower? I'm thinking about buying one not so much for using but just because it's a neat looking machine. Any comments on what a decent price range would for it would be greatly appreciated. It includes a sulky and bagger.

No idea of value, but it sure is a cool piece of history> :thumbs:

If that's the unit pic'd above then it looks pretty clean :thumbs:

That unit looks like something the old man that lived down the street from us had. I remember his lawn always looked like a well groomed golf course .

I always bugged my dad to get one. But, he said our push mower was fine.

Easy for him to say, he wasnt the one doing the pushing - ouch .

If it's sharp you'll have one of the nicest putting greens around!!

WOW, I just bought one for $50.00 just like that. Restored the sulky and painted it red. Scrapped the mower except the motor. Everything was locked up except the motor and the neighbor has it running and on a Sears Suburban.

I still have all the tires though. They are cool.

I think I missed out on it but it had been popping up from time to time and was becoming hard to resist at $75 and was said to be in running condition. I wasn't looking for a lower price I just got side tracked with other stuff. I'll rationalize it by saying it probably would have just collected dust in my basement after I tried it out a few times lol.
