Good Afternoon,
I live in an old farm house that used to once be a thriving farm. Yesterday I decided to go through one of our old barns and stumbled upon this piece of machinery. I figured out that it is some sort of shear that would be used to cut down brush, maybe high grass something of that nature. The Engine is a Briggs and Stratton 4 cycle: numbers as follows: Model# NPR6 Type# 307055 Serial# 1535097. I Believe it may be a John Deere as for the main handle bars and front forks are yellow and the frame and machine itself is green though I cannot find any significant markers such as the name or Deere symbol. The engine operates 3 pulleys through flywheels which act like a locomotive in the way its driven and thus then converts the motion from vertical motion to horizontal making the shears go back in forth. I am very interested in restoring this piece of equipment but would like opinions of others and if possible a link to somewhere that describes what this is. Thank you very much and input is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bobby
