    Beautiful machine. My dad bought a 24 inch Reo reel mower in the 1950's that I used for 5 years until college.

    How could it not run? It's a Gravely!

    Nice to see an old machine fire that easy.
    I love finding old small engines that I can work on and get running.
    I have never seen a spark tester like that, but I will be looking for one now.
    Thanks.

      Sometimes they’re relatively easy to get going. It definitely needs a top end rebuild though.

    I do like the sound from the down draft muffler.
    What brand of spark tester are using.

      They are sold under a few different brand names. Mine is an Echo.

    Will you do a video on the attachment? Real type mower and show us any tips and tricks. Also, your Magneto tricks might be cool too even though the whole video is great.❤❤❤❤❤❤

      Thanks, Chuck. I actually sold that reel mower shortly after the last episode, so I don’t have it anymore. I do have an earlier one that I’m planning to restore at some point, so hopefully I’ll be able to share that project too.

    Do you ever show these machines doing the work they were meant to do? I wanted to see it mow some grass!

      Not yet, but if you go to the “Gravelyman” channel, Artie just uploaded a great video of mowing with one of his Model Ls.

      @@jasonwesbrock8735 I can't find him using the reel attatchment. He does show using a rotory mower attatchment. Would you consider showing the reel mower in use? By the way, the other restorations of these machines are awesome and thanks for the quick response. God bless.
