Ray B. wrote They're is a MISSING lawn mower in "The Straight Story", and it should get 4 stars: his first one, which he shoots with a shotgun. A Rehds. "Rehds" according to the script but that's possibly a fake make.

In any case, if this wasn't red, I'd consider the possibility of the International Harvester Cub Cadet: http://www.cubclassics.com/images/cub.jpg So perhaps we should look up some other IHC lawn mowers?
chicomarx ◊ 2012-03-05 00:43	Seems a very good guess. The position of the badge is probably unique to International Harvester.

The grille should be black, with silver and black striped headlight panels. It's a Cub Cadet 76, not International Harvester. Small wheels and a vertical Briggs and Stratton engine. Anything bigger and it would be obvious, the rear rims changed. They were built form 1972-1976. It could POSSIBLY be a Cub 80. I see differences with the other two, though.
