    David Bradley sickle mower - worth anything?

    I hate not being able to edit posts, so sorry about that. That ad clearly shows the mounted type and not the pull-behind PTO version you were talking about. The ad posted previously was the only one I noticed that had the PTO-driven pull-behind mower, but then I was specifically avoiding the PTO...

    They had both PTO and ground-driven (horse-drawn) models listed side by side in many of the ads. I didn't specifically save any of the PTO model ads, but here's one from 1947 that featured both. :)

    David Bradley sickle mower - worth anything?

    Ugh. Sorry for all the followups. I also meant to note that in 1953, the Asheville newspaper ad couldn't even be bothered to use the correct image when clearing out these horse-drawn mowers, showing a very different PTO-driven model instead.

    Unfortunately, editing of posts is disabled, so I can't correct the second pic (or a few other editing mistakes) in my earlier post. This is the 1946 Harrisburg (PA) [i:2eb43f93b6]Evening News[/i:2eb43f93b6] ad:

    If anyone would like the full-size versions of these ads, feel free to send me a private message including your email address. They were scaled down automatically when they were uploaded here. :)

    David Bradley sickle mower - worth anything?

    Hope it's not a violation of etiquette or rules to post a few more pics here. Since there's very little information available online, I thought adding anything at all might help someone someday. I did some digging through the archives at Newspapers.com and found several examples of this mower...

    David Bradley sickle mower - worth anything?

    Thanks for the feedback, guys. The more I look at the pics, the more I want to keep it, even though I know nothing about restoring old implements and have TONS of other projects. Any idea how old it is? It's intriguing that there seems to be virtually no information online about this model. I...

    David Bradley sickle mower - worth anything?

    I've got a David Bradley sickle mower (917 5303) sitting out back that isn't doing me any good, and I'd like to send it to a new home before snow. I just don't know if that new home should be a scrap yard or a collector. I can't find any information online whatsoever about this mower. If anyone...

    Another Why?

    In addition to the other reasons mentioned here, another reason for no response to email may be that the person's email provider sees the incoming message as spam and either moves it to the junk folder or deletes it before it even gets to the person with the ad. This is because CL uses a...

    Questions about installing JD 37A snowblower on JD 214

    Thanks! Just got back from visiting my dad, who helped me fabricate a new strap based on measurements found elsewhere. Ironically, when I got home I had an email waiting for me from the guy who sold me the snowblower -- he found the strap hanging in his garage and is sending it to me. Figures! :)

    Questions about installing JD 37A snowblower on JD 214

    Recently purchased a John Deere 214 garden tractor and more recently purchased a 37A snow thrower to go along with it. The snow thrower is in excellent condition and supposedly came with everything needed for installation, but I'm having some issues figuring out where everything goes...
