A friend of mine gave me this antique reel mower, which was in fairly good working order, albeit rusty. I used an electrolysis bath to remove all of the rust, cleaned it up with a wire brush, and disassembled and lubricated everything. It still works perfectly, and you can see traces of the original orange paint still on the metal pieces.
