Finally joined the club

After having a number of reel mowers sold out from under me (CL), I finally found a local one via FB Marketplace that looked to be in good shape. Pulled up to his house and his lawn was beautiful (check), he's the original owner (check), he's selling it because he's moving up to a 27" (check), it's been professionally maintained (check), it fired up on the first pull (check), it passed the paper cut test (check), bed knife is one year old (check), mower was serviced this year (check).

I had a good feeling about this one, and ordered a front roller earlier in the day :mrgreen:
