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.

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
Money can't buy you happiness.
It can however buy you a beer.
And that is close enough.

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

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

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.

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

To sharpen the blades you adjust the the reel so it rubs against the cutting bar and use a lapping compound and you turn the reel backwards.
