Skylar, I have one of those mowers that I bought in early sixty's. It is well built and still works fine. Mine is 18 inch cut for trimming. Only difference I see is shape of handle bars. You made a good choice for restoring

I had a similar machine, with a 30" cut. A friend and I added 4 of the optional blower fins to the triangular blades. If you left the machine running at full speed for long in one spot, it would pull the grass out by the roots! Nice job on the restoration!
