Question:
I just bought a gently used Model 64 Reel Mower and it hardly cuts anything. I've searched the entire Husqvarna site for a manual to this mower and no luck. Can someone please assist me in getting my manual and explaining why the mower cuts very little? My yard is mainly weeds less than a foot high. Very, very unhappy right now.
Answer
I did find a manual on the Nova Cut 64 reel mower for you. Not much info at all in it.

This from using another brand of reel mower so it is just observation from actual use of a reel mower. From this you will be disappointed unless you can keep the grass and weeds fairly short and being around 12 inches tall is not considered short for these reel mowers. You will have problem even if it is around 6 inches.
You will find that if grass and weeds are not keep short enough the reel mower will simply flatten the grass and weeds that are taller then it can feed into itself. It simply rolls over them. To use these reel mowers it takes cutting every few days keeping the lawn short.
Personally I never buy one. The one I have is one that I was given and I can't even give it away. Works great when I keep the lawn cut every few days but if I don't then I got to get out gas power push mower. I probably end up sending it to the recycling center.

Thank you so much for your kind assistance. The seller gave me an incorrect model number and I was able to find the correct model no. on the mower as well as a manual for the mower that I bought, an 18 inch Evolution, model H2201-18. Seems the height adjustment lever is stuck at the lowest level and once I get it moved to the top level, I should be able to mow up to 6 inches high per the manual. If, as you say, these mowers won't mow high grass, using it every couple days once I weed eat the grass down to a low height won't be a problem.
I didn't find the manual on the Husqvarna site, trying to find a manual there is impossible, though I did put in a ticket asking for advice on how to get the height adjustment lever unstuck. I kind of doubt I will hear from them since it's almost a week since I made inquiry, but hopefully my local lawnmower guy can figure it out for me.
