I was looking for some information on a recently acquired reel mower. On the wheels are stamped “Interstate G.L.M. Co.”. It used to be my grandfathers. Can anyone assist me with this.

I have a “Great Lakes” reel lawnmower with operating instructions – BUT other than a model #128.81201, have no idea of age (no date on instructions) – sold through Sears,Roebuck and Co.-USA or Simpsons-Sears limited in Canada. Still works great. Any idea how old or its possible worth? Thanks!!

@Tim, Yes, there are a few on the market that work well for putting greens, however they’re not cheap: http://www.cleanairgardening.com/greensmower.html

Are there any reel mowers that you recommend for greens grasses, such as bentgrass?

@paul orton, If you don’t see any adjustment screws or levers then the answer is no, but without a model and model number it’s hard to give you a definitive answer.
