Ford Push Mower

[Roadwarrior]

Hello, I recently acquired this old Ford mower. I must say, I haven’t found a whole lot of information about it. I did find an old Ford/New Holland brochure with a picture of one, enough to Discern it’s a C21SP. Commercial model. Runs good and cuts great. Built like a tank. Just curious if anyone else has had one or has any info on them. I had a RM 21 years ago but this one was a new one. I think it will be a good addition to my collection.

Wow, that's really cool!

I’ve never heard of them either, that is awesome! If it were mine, I would clean it up super nice, change the oil, and use it only once in a while. I bet it has a pretty good value to collectors. Speaking of push mowers no one has ever heard of, I own a Korvette

!

Old push mowers had style for sure!

Agreed. I have a Korvettes 3hp, JCPenny 3hp, Cub Cadet 3.75hp, Murray 22in, Toro aluminum deck, and Lawn Boy 7073 in my vintage push mower collection.

Awesome, would like to see pics of them when you get a chance.

When I get a chance, yes, I will make a whole thread I suppose about them and mention you in it.

I wonder if the Korvettes name refers to E J Korvettes, the long defunct discount department store chain. They were very big in the NYC area, one of the first discount department stores.

It does from the research I've done. The info out there on my mower is extremely very limited and rare.
