I have a McCormick Deering no.7 horse drawn(?) sickle bar mower
Does this have any collector value if restored?

I've got two of them sitting out in my yard now. I tried to sell one recently and couldn't seem to generate any interest in it. Since I've had them, I've noticed them all over the place and they seem to be plentiful in the Okla. City area. As far as it's worth, it's just whatever the other person will pay. I gave 50 bucks each for mine. Good Luck!

I did not realize what it was when I found it.
My Father in Law had a Cub and I thought it was a sickle bar from that.
I was thinking of cleaning it up and putting it in the yard and making a flower garden around it but started wondering it it was worth anything.
Sounds like it might be a neat "project" to work on just to say I did it!

As the previous posts have suggested, where you are may determine the interest in your mower. If you were in Amish country, I'd say you'd sell it easily in good condition! Here in Colorado, there is a twice-annual Draft Horse & Equipment Auction up a little N.E. of Denver. There were a number of mower in various states of condition. Functional mowers brought several hundred dollars. Part of that may have been that there were people at THIS auction that wanted mowers. Timing is everything! If you need some clues, there's a publication, "Small Farmers Journal" out of Sisters, OR., that has manuals for many horse-drawn items gleaned from historical societies and collectors.
Good luck Geoff - kinda hoping you'll embark on this project! (Already have a functioning #9 High Gear or I'd be knocking on your door with $$ in hand!)

Where might find the publication you spoke of.
The more I look at this I think my father-in-law modified it to be pulled behind the "Cub" he had as it has a large steel tounge and I recieved an email from someone who is having problems replacing the wood tounge!
Maybe a photo?
Thanks

Sometimes horsedrawn equipment will have been modified to pull behind a vehicle by shortening the tongue - one can use a forecart to pull it without re-modifying it; horses pull the forecart and the implement is pulled behind the forecart. I have a grain drill that was modified this way - I'll pull it behind a forecart. I did restore a modified road grader to horsedrawn use by redoing a new tongue.
I'll check my files - an old neighbor unearthed an original manual for a mower; I'll see what model it is. Can send you a copy if it's what you need.
