    I just picked up an old Toro GreensMaster 1000. Need a little bit of care as it was not used for 10+ years and sat in a basement all that time. We pulled it out added oil and gas. Well it did not start on the first pull but it did start on the 2nd pull and I think it will be 1st pull from here on. Needs a good cleaning and tune up. The spacing actually seems good to the cutting bar and I will backlap it tomorrow while giving it a tune up - Fresh pugs oil. Believe it or not the filter looks brand new. If you want to try something insane... Go look at a locke mower or find someone that has one. I was tempted today to buy one - but the thing was too much of a beast as this one was what is calles a triplex and had side wings that fold down for a 72" cut.. But if you find one near by what an awesome blast from the past video that would be. They used to be the only mower to cut the white house lawn with and they perhaps still have a fleet of them.

    Never tried a toro unit but I’ve had 3 McLanes. Back lapping is easier w the drill adapter. I’ve not tried the backslapping kit that McLane sells but you’ve got to back lap if you want those fine clippings. McLanes are easy to work on and simple for most people and short learning curve. My current McLane is a 20 in 10 blade with the smoothe roller and wishing I had the grooved roller but still works well compared to the front wheel kit which I have and it will never see the light day. If you want a reel mower you have to pony uP for the roller or you won’t be happy, it stands the grass blades up, distributes the weight of the mower and like this guy says it keeps you from scalping if your lawn is not good and flat. Happy mowing!

I watched your recent video when you went to TruCut's Factory but I'm a 90-pound weakling, and yikes, I fear their equipment is too heavy for me. So, do you still approve of McLanes? You are by far my favorite lawn channel, and your opinion means a lot to me. God bless you and your beautiful family ... oh, and gorgeous lawn! Thanks very much :)

It seemed like almost everybody had one.

Not only are there no dealers or service centers close, I've never even used (or seen up close, really) a reel mower. I'm hoping to find someone who will let me take a close look at theirs soon. It's a lot of money for something you can't try out first! Thus, I am most appreciative of your informative channel.
