Ideal Mower Hit & Miss

Up for auction is a near original condition 1920's Ideal model R Lawn mower power unit with a custom built sulky. This unit retains all the mounting brackets to attach the reel mower to the front and would make a wonderful project for anyone who is an antique lawn mower enthusiast. This sale Does NOT include the reel mower! The hand built custom sulky is unique- makes for a great buggy to ride around on at engine shows sporting some awesome heavy cast iron wheels! The Ideal engine is a neat little 3/4 HP hit & miss! It has great compression! I had this unit running earlier this spring- two flips of the flywheel and it was running! One day it quit and now I cannot get it to start. I think the magneto needs a rebuild and a new set of points and that would solve the problem. It should be an easy fix. The mag has been removed since the photos were taken- ready for a rebuild! All of the gears and chain (crude one speed forward transmission) are in great shape and so is the clutch. Clutching is done via tightening a flat leather belt. All in all this a fantastic example of an early lawnmower! I have a few extra spark plugs that will go with this sale as well. Good luck bidding! Email with questions!
