Hi, I’m wondering what the best grass blend is for keeping a yard green year-round. I have a sprinkler system that runs at 6:00 AM every day for 10 minutes. I believe I currently have tall fescue. Can I turn this into a golf-course-like yard, or do I need a different grass blend? Also can I use a reel mower on tall fescue if thats what I have

Socal Montgomery ward reel mower restoration.

Hey everyone! I’m reaching out because my grandpa had a Montgomery Ward reel mower (I believe it was made by McLane), and I’m thinking about restoring it. This is my first time restoring a reel mower—or any mower, really—so I’m a bit unsure where to start.

I don’t have the year or model/serial numbers, but I’ve attached some pictures. Does anyone have tips, guides, or advice on whether this is even something worth trying? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
