Great restoration! I have a 1940-50s REO powered reel mower. It has a proprietary engine. It's in great condition! REO was a truck manufacturer of Diamond T tractors. They also built big straight trucks for fire trucks, etc. The mowers and other things were built at their Home Products Division in Lansing, Michigan.
Flail mowers are still quite common for mowing along highways, since they can cut steep steep slopes off the sides of a tractor and hit debris without much damage to the mower. RustOleum spray stops up because the paint is thicker. Turn the can upside down and spray until only gas comes out, and the nozzles won't stop up as often. Stop as soon as the paint stops coming out with the can inverted. Their new self leveling brush on paint is amazing stuff.
I've never heard of a Mott's hammer blade mower but now that I've seen one and saw it in action I think they're awesome 👌! Another small mower similar to that one that I've never seen in action is one that has the scissor type cutters out front that works like a sickle bar mower. I'm thinking that they're probably used for high thick weeds too probably.
Very nice job! The sharpening job looks like a real pain - to remove all the cutters, bend all the cotter pins, etc. Wouldn't look forward to that regular maintenance. Impressive that you recreated the missing parts for completeness.
They made a tool for that which looks like a large dremel with a guide on it. You ran the engine out of gas, then flipped it up so it sat on the handle and the guard and then you could sharpen them without removal.
Taryl, it's much safer leaving the tool rest on a bench grinder, with no more than 1/8" gap. PS You hit the nail on the head with the Rust-Oleum nozzles!
I thought I was the only one. I wrote Rust-Oleum and had to demand a free set of nozzles so I could use up my spray paint cans that had clogged. I might just switch to Krylon or Taryl's brand
@@Hjerte_Verke I used to turn the can upside down and hit the nozzle for a while to clear it after use, it kinda works... but I would also rob nozzles from other cans, that also works, lol
Maybe a piece of black anti slip step material below the step here decal to keep the yellow from showing boot marks. But it wouldn’t be stock. Or maybe spell out step here to crank with letters cut out of that material.
Awesome stuff Taryl Dactyl mate cheers from Australia to your area and that's a real Made in USA (United States of Americal type plus not made in China too.
14:40 a little tip to keep paint can nozzles from clogging up, after you're done painting, turn the can upside down and depress the valve until the spray is clear. Wipe off and store as usual
Mr.Dactyl and his talented family on yet another restoration!! He is always teaching and entertaining at the same time. And on top of that he is truly one of the most naturally comical individuals i have ever seen. Thank you Mr. Dactyl and family!!!
Unfortunately saftey regulations don't allow basic and simple anymore . I'll stick with my old Lawn Boy mowers thank you :D Good job Taryl , a piece of OP equipment history preserved.
I don't think "safety regulations" figured into it and this machine is not the simplest--simple is a rotary push mower with one spinning blade, which explains their endurance to this very day. I just think the Hammer Knife with its multiple blades, not to mention the hassle of sharpening (or replacing) each one, is way too complicated for the average homeowner. Safety regulations vary though, depending on locale....
Mott is now owned by Alamo who still manufactures flail type mowers. Alamo Flail mowers are mainly utilized for right of way mowing by government municipalities as well as state highway departments in different configurations of the flail style mowers. At one time the flail mowers were being manufactured for garden tractors in which were mounted on the front of the tractor.
Bought a Honda XR650L new in 1995 and was ordering parts from J.C. Whitney. I also made a cardboard model of a universal windshield they had to make sure it would fit. Model fit perfectly 😁 and so did the windshield, because it gets expensive sending things back. I miss their old catalogs. ☹️
Sweet old machine! Looking at that gap under the back of the deck, you wouldn't want your 12 year old grandson running it. One false move and his shoestring would be sucked right in and his foot spit out as mincemeat. Nice job on the restoration!
Taryl's Power Equipment Museum!!!!!!! Every single one of us watching this channel would go! You know we would, I would!! Special tours on Friday nights, sponsored by Hamm's. Oh yeah, color me there!
That mower, I was going to call it a thing but, works really good. I'd sooner have that than a blade. Funny thing is I never saw one. And I am a lot older than you. I love it! I'd keep it too. You keep on keeping on!
Simple and Easy....somewhere along the line the world forgot about those. A mower shop owner told me this the other day about the new Briggs n Scrantons that you cant change or add oil to, he said " The oil is made to last thru 50 hrs of operation, the engines only last 21 hrs" lol
The heavier duty flail blades are sort of like little scooped shaped hammers and made of cast steel-EXPENSIVE but can cut thru about anything the mower can walk over.The edge of the "scoops" are sharpened-and can be sharpened many times before wearing out.
Awesome job on a great little machine! It would be great to see a small walk behind flail mower like that being produced today. As it stands the smallest I see are for on the 3pt hitch of tractors. I think BCS has one for their 2 wheel tractors as well but big $$
I'm counting the minutes until the OSHA trolls show up. I had to come back and add, I'm surprised that while you're callin' stuff aluminium, you're not giving sizes in millimeckers too. You do good Taryl...if I lived nearby, I'd aggravate you more than Slippers does...bring my Cushman haulster for you to restore...got that thing in '66 when I was 8 years old.
I really like that the MOTT can get into tight places and turns easily. Unlike a regular mower that you have to do the back and forth maneuver to get turned around. Great job guys!
Yeah, just two wheels is key. I think the Mott corporation was trying to improve on the powered reel type mowers of the same era, but the utter simplicity of the rotary push mower explains why they dominate today.
This shredder is nice..i would love to have one..could've used one when i was cutting grass many years ago..it looks brand new..those clinton engines were popular on mini bikes back in the day..appreciate the longer videos and the restoration..it's a beast of a mower..see you on the next one...Cheers friend 🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Taryl I can tell you why it didn't catch on. This machine as a walk behind is to dangerous if you trip or fall while using it it will be on top of you hammer knifing your feet and legs etc. This company makes larger versions of these. Some even to be pulled by lawn mowers etc. If you want to get even bigger these are generically called flail mowers and most Government agencies use these to mow roadside right of ways. You need to be very careful around any sort of cable, such as electric fence etc.. They can do a lot of scary stuff in a matter of seconds. A company called Tiger makes a larger version for mowing around guard rails etc which can even mow down decent sized trees.
We got our little grass rats a Ranch King mower. We took the deck off and got them a trailer for it. They are really enjoying having their own "tractor" on our farm.
They will make more now that you did a video free advertisement for them. I know i would buy one think looks light cuts great simple easy to repair. Hey they could make a self propelled one lol.
It’s pretty cool but I think it might not be too safe nowadays for knuckleheads and goofballs. If you tripped when pulling it backwards it would suck you in and spit you out like a wood chipper! All the cool dangerous stuff was when we were kids, like lawn darts, and fhale mowers! & Freon dragsters I got frostbite from that one! Lol 😂 oh the good old days!
trims close without hitting things and offsets the force due to the engine placement. To center the engine would require a longer shaft to drive the cutter shaft.

Have you ever been able to find Toro red
New cutting knives are available for this.
Nice work Taryl. That little rascal is a beast.
Thanks Taryl! This was new territory for me. Looks like a good idea.
Would love to hear and see the Mott with the new bearings.... maybe a Part 3 please?
Those parts you made in C.A.D. (Cardboard Aided Design) came out really good.
Well done!
Nothing like that sense of pride knowing you took your time and did things right.

Turned out great! Beautiful work. Another great TFA video.
Very similar to a Bluebird dethatcher, I bet you could replace the cutters with flat steel like the dethatcher uses and it could double duty
Nice Job: beautiful!
That thing is awesome.
Great work man!
I loved the spark plug necklace
Great job Taryl
A Classic Hammer movie production. It's a HORROR Show.

Sure is a special kind of nut , But I do enjoy watching his channel. Having repaired and maintained mowers for people for 40 years .
A 1" x 42" belt sander works well to sharpen blades also.
that matt machine does a great job at shaving the grass.
Taryl, it's much safer leaving the tool rest on a bench grinder, with no more than 1/8" gap.

Challenge : Hammer Knife Mower vs. old school Gravely Brush Destroyer.
Oh Terrel when you’re not using your rust oleum spray paint. take the caps off and store them in a mason jar of gasoline to keep the caps clean.

Got one of them pullers in my mess kit.
Great rebuild and restore!! You probably lost a 1/4hp spinning those screaming bearings 😁
Now apply Ceramic coating on the underside of the deck.
You need to do blade Man episodes
Mows better than a new mower!

My guess is he is well aware of that (after all, most companies print that on the can), does it, and it still clogs on the offending brand.
That works on the old style paint cans, but many of the new ones will paint in any position.
Taryl's irregular mowing pattern triggered MY OCD haha
You did good Taryl but it's a bit fancy for a real mower
Seemed to cut better when you was pulling it backwards maybe because it kicks the stuff out the front that way it don't bog it down
👍👍👍
Paint them blades orange!
I would buy one of those mowers if they still made them. Pretty neat!
Taryl makes things so simple.
Mr.Dactyl and his talented family on yet another restoration!! He is always teaching and entertaining at the same time. And on top of that he is truly one of the most naturally comical individuals i have ever seen. Thank you Mr. Dactyl and family!!!
yep

After I use spray paint, I pull the nozzle off and attach it to the spay tube of brake cleaner and spray brake cleaner through it.
I turn the can upside down and spray the paint out of the pickup tube.
This little ripper is a keeper for sure, nice job Taryl!
Well good afternoon me old mucker 🇬🇧 hope all is good
This is something you’d show off at the county fair where they have all the old tractors and things you get a lot of visitors checking that out
The hammer knife is a pretty neat system. Flail mowers I’m sure weren’t a new invention.
cuts reg grass way better then l expected, taryl putty for the win,
Hey mustie, love your videos!

MTD missed that one
@@larrygreenwood6923 And that is a good thing!!!
Taryl you can still reference the Space Shuttle, our tax dollars paid for it, not D Boy’s.
Want your steel toe boots on with that thing . Works pretty good👍👍
Best lawn/brush mower i've ever seen,great restro too!
Bought a Honda XR650L new in 1995 and was ordering parts from J.C. Whitney. I also made a cardboard model of a universal windshield they had to make sure it would fit. Model fit perfectly 😁 and so did the windshield, because it gets expensive sending things back.
I miss their old catalogs. ☹️
Lovely restoration Taryl ...great little mower 🇬🇧✊🏻
I loved this video! That Mott thing is vintage and beautiful. God bless!
Nice job Taryl! The Mott really eats up the weeds!i like how you compressed it into two videos, so we didn’t have to wait to see the results!
what do you call a gang of these? A mottley Crew!
Knew I'd find this comment in here somewhere...lol
After turning that mower into a work of art, there is no way I could have used it to cut grass.
Very impressive, Taryl! Nice restoration. I particularly enjoyed seeing you cut grass in a coat and tie!
Taryl you are the wizard of homeowner implements. I really enjoyed this build.
Sweet old machine! Looking at that gap under the back of the deck, you wouldn't want your 12 year old grandson running it. One false move and his shoestring would be sucked right in and his foot spit out as mincemeat. Nice job on the restoration!
This quality item with history and provenance is worth the time and consideration. It brings out the best all round.
After you killed the Mott i noticed a 7.3 power stroke idling 👌

Spoiler alert the putty is just jb weld
"Top Shelf". Great job Taryl. Where else can you go and get entertained and educated at the same time? Keep em commin!
Now THAT is a real BushWhacker!!!!Beautiful job Taryl
Simple and Easy....somewhere along the line the world forgot about those.
A mower shop owner told me this the other day about the new Briggs n Scrantons that you cant change or add oil to, he said " The oil is made to last thru 50 hrs of operation, the engines only last 21 hrs" lol
I Enjoy The Humor And Rebuilds. Keep Them Comeing Taryl
Why did you sharpen both sides of flails (hammers) could of just swapped them around to the unused side they only cut one side
just asking Great vids
T, have u thought abt having a meet/greet n show at ur place? U could display all the projects/toys and sell merch, dogs, pop
Those are cutting blades/kinves for lawns. The hammer blades are more like a T a single blade/knife for doing brush and thicker stuff. Great video 👍
M.A.G.A
The heavier duty flail blades are sort of like little scooped shaped hammers and made of cast steel-EXPENSIVE but can cut thru about anything the mower can walk over.The edge of the "scoops" are sharpened-and can be sharpened many times before wearing out.
Brother that’s almost a shame to use it that piece is museum quality now👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looks like a guy could get his toes under that pretty easy, especially backing up. That wouldn't be pretty.
I'll bet the lawyers stopped production. Not the mention the cost for alllll the warning labels.
I love it! Wonderful to see an old piece saved from the scrap pile. Nice job Taryl.
The damn thing actually cuts grass. Not to mention little trees. Im impressed. Nice restoration.
If you turn a spray paint can upside down and press the trigger it'll blow all the paint out of the straw and the tip so you can use it again
Awesome job on a great little machine! It would be great to see a small walk behind flail mower like that being produced today. As it stands the smallest I see are for on the 3pt hitch of tractors. I think BCS has one for their 2 wheel tractors as well but big $$
i bought new knives for my gravely frail mower from a tiller tine company in California.
I agree with JR. Ya can't put rusty parts back on after doing all that work...good job!
I'm counting the minutes until the OSHA trolls show up. I had to come back and add, I'm surprised that while you're callin' stuff aluminium, you're not giving sizes in millimeckers too.

Same danger with any push mower. We know why they don't make things simple and easy to fix
We got our little grass rats a Ranch King mower. We took the deck off and got them a trailer for it. They are really enjoying having their own "tractor" on our farm.
That looks great I've been rebuilding a big 10 Briggs and definitely praying attention to details to
It might not bog down as bad with new bearings since it doesn't have to fight through that resistance, right?
I like the cotter pin puller, I’m going to make one out of some scrap metal.
Burrrrrrp.............Ahhhhhh, that's a HAMM"S Burp ! LMFAO
They will make more now that you did a video free advertisement for them. I know i would buy one think looks light cuts great simple easy to repair. Hey they could make a self propelled one lol.
Paint the blades, paint the blades, paint the blades.😎🤣 “its in the details” 👍
I’ll believe you got another hit single they’re with Buttercup you and the boys need to do the whole album
That’s so true about Rust-Oleum paint cans. That turned out really nice
Hammer knife looks like Taryls teeth.
It’s pretty cool but I think it might not be too safe nowadays for knuckleheads and goofballs. If you tripped when pulling it backwards it would suck you in and spit you out like a wood chipper! All the cool dangerous stuff was when we were kids, like lawn darts, and fhale mowers! & Freon dragsters I got frostbite from that one! Lol 😂 oh the good old days!
Why are the engine and the handle off-center? Is that so you can off to the side and not get your suit dirty?
trims close without hitting things and offsets the force due to the engine placement. To center the engine would require a longer shaft to drive the cutter shaft.
Excellent as always T Dog, keep em coming ! Cheers
