I picked up a nice old McCormick Deering horse drawn sickle bar today. I've been wanting one for the front yard for a long time! It's a nice one!

Nice. Are you going to do it up or leave it au natural*.

Very nice. I'm glad it didn't go to China when scrap prices were outrageous.

I'm thinking I'll leave it as it sits for now. I may put it on a big piece of granite out front.

Heck, grease it up, put a tongue in it and use it to mow your ditch banks via a tractor or ATV pulling it. I bet it will work as good as a new 3 PH mounted one.

I have a McCormick Deering #7 resting here and looking for a new home, I was going to put it on concrete slabs as a lawn ornament, then the D-I-L turned the front yard into garden.
