I found this old rig on the way home from grocery store at a garage sale. According to the village Briggs website and the 5S model motor was built in November 1951. Reel mower was made by the F&M mower company. I'm going to dump your alarm see if I can get it running.
It has good compression. Im going to dump the old gas and oil. It does have spark. If it if I can get it running I'll post a video. My wife said nice something else collect ... Lol
Today I went though the motor and it started right up. I was hoping to use it on my front lawn. It's pretty small area. Fortunately the mowers highest adjustments only two inches. I guess they mowed the lawns pretty short back in the 50s ??
Those reel mowers are for a close cut.Golf courses use them on the greens.Test a small spot and see how it does.I see people use them,and their lawns look very nice.
