I picked up a nice old McCormick Deering horse drawn sickle bar today. I've been wanting one for the front yard for a long time! It's a nice one!

My grand dad had one of those too except he used his. Also had a hay rake, plows etc. All were either one or two horse machines.

Is that a cup holder in the center where the wood piece attaches?

I have cut grass with it behind my Farmall C. It was meant for cutting hay/straw and cutting grass is a huge PITA. Right after I got it I put new knives on it and replaced some of the guards.

I still have the one we used here on the farm when I was a kid. I'm not sure if it still works or not, but when I was a kid I spend many an hour riding on it, mowing hay!
