Wrong brand but free.Toro Professional 72" Was my girlfriends dads but has been setting at her uncles for a while.9hp Wisconsin engine.Her uncle put gas in it and it fired on the 2nd pull.Drove it around a little and its going to take a little getting used to.Checked the serial number on the engine and it was made Jan 1963.Cool thing about that is thats when I was born.

Good to know! I Have a couple sets in need of TLC.

Wow. First time I have seen one of those. Very interesting machine. How do you sharpen the blades?

The foot rest on this is a flat piece of steel about a inch thick.Your feet are right above the back of the reels.Ill probably make some kind of foot rests just to be a little safer.

Yes sir, look out OSHA here we come. Unique machine and the price is hard to beat.

Wow, I am sure Toro's risk management department was glad to see that thing go.

Awesome freebie! I have a Park Special I've owned for twenty years, nobody built reels like Toro!

Bill; free is good. Looks like a fun machine. Post some pics of how the cut looks compared to a rotary Simplicity/Allis result. Dave
