Scotts Classic Push Reel 20″ Manual Lawn Mower

I purchased my Scott’s Classic 14 years ago because I had a large lawn and wanted the biggest mower I could get. This unit has not disappointed. It’s wide, easy to maintain, and just keeps cutting. Follow the manual, to the T, keep it adjusted and clean, and it mows. I’ve only had to sharpen it once, and that’s mostly because I had the kit and wanted to. Best if you keep up on your lawn, let it get long and your in for harder pushing and less awesome cutting.

a very odd “feature” is that when you adjust the cutting height, it changes the angle, and therefore the height, of the handle. with a non-adjustable handle, this means that you should hire a short person to cut the lawn short, and a giant to do the thicker lawn. it could really use an adjustable handle.

Its been working great but the gears are worn out cant find replacement parts.

I inherited a used one if these not expecting much of it. A back wheel assembly that wobbled, very dirty blades and frame. First mowing I was convinced this was worth some rehab. I had a hard time removing that back wheel to get to a nut underneath that had become loose and couldn't hold the cutting height assembly in place. Very straightforward but that top nut wasn't loosening! Finally wrench and hammer persuaded it so I could tighten the nut underneath. Then I cleaned the heck out of it, got some valve compound to spiff up and sharpen the blades. A final going over with WD-40 SILICONE spray and I'd compete with any new out if the box reel mower. All this brought home to me the KEY to these reel mowers performing beautifully is maintenance! I started with old and used. Starting with new should be a breeze if it's kept clean and we'll maintained! Don't let gunk build up on something so easy to blow off or hose off and spray with silicone to keep it like new. Keep the blade edges clean and wiped with silicone. It will be a long time before you have any issues! By the way. I'm 70, petite, and have no trouble pushing this mower at top speed because I keep it in top working condition, just like new!

This is a wonderful push mower and it really gets the job done with ease, while saving my hard earned cash and doing my part to help save the environment.
