Did not purchase,,, acquired!!!
A freind brought me this engineering marvel from the 60's. It is a TORO Professional 58 reel mower. It was sitting in a barn for the last 15 years. It was going to cost him more to get it running than he wanted to spend but I could not stop playing with it. It reely (big pun) wasn't all that difficult to get running. New points, condensor, and coil for parts and allot of time getting everything free'd up and cleaned. It has a simple 5hp B&S motor(parts are readily available) and the reels are chain driven. This this is so cool and was unbeleivably well engineered. It self sharpens the blades and mowes 58" with a 5hp motor. The drive system for the reels and wheels is very simple. It would stay in my herd of toys but my yard is way to small for this toy. There are a couple of Youtube videos of these mowers in action. Any body that has a big yard and wants to be the head turner of the neighborhood can send a PM as it is up for sale (Too big for a conversation piece).
