Growing up on a farm in Illinois....my Dad instilled in me that the proper place for a scythe is hanging in a tree! I have one hanging in a pear tree here in North Texas. Daddy would be proud!
Let me add...a couple of years ago I purchased a Cub Cadet 46” riding mower. Although we didn’t have International’s (Allis Chalmers)...I had to have a baby international...of sorts...MISTAKE...have had nothing but trouble...terrible engineering to just plain a POS...been under warranty so far but what a pain in the azz to have to load it up and carry it to the fix it shop....neighbor bought a “cheap” Toro and lends me his machine while mine is being fixed.. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
