Dad traded the WD45 with sickle bar for an almost new New Idea 290 back in 1971.
It does about 20 acres a year. I am quite an NI 290 mechanic now!
I will keep it running another 3 or 4 years, before it goes off to the better place.
I'd love to find a Ford 535 in mint condition to replace it. Even if I could find a 290 in mint condition, I will be glad to have it.
I really like this mower!
