That is a Toro 58" Professional. When they first came out they cost $495.00 Yours needs some adjustment and looks like a few pieces are missing. Lots of grass has been groomed by these fine machines.
@N3689U Thanks but Oddly enough it had a 70" decal centered on the front when factory paint was seen.Also Stanley the tape measure reads seventy inch from edge to edge of a freshly cut path.Also the Parts manual refers to it as the (70). Yes a Professional series. Yes a few missing parts. Most are inside shop, Notice the steering cable under frame to wheel??? Was factory Rusted steel cable, I went with a sproket and bike chain.
I remember this machine as a kid 30+ yrs ago Uncle wearing it out.
@N3689U Adjusted yes once in a while / sharpened..not since I've owned it. Given up for the scrap pile a few times, before I got it. But Like a Timex.. Cost new??? No idea.
Will say Two Fools meet at a Toro dealership/supply house, When someone offered me $600 cash to unload it from the trailor. Now it's sitting under a TARP in the back yard still....
@N3689U i have one of these mower restored for sale.....i would like to get around 500 dollars for it....its all redone, paint and sharpend reels, new bearings bushings and chains....only thing it could use are new decals
@quinnmyster Thanks!!!! Was lots of fun just to ride. I'm thinking on the pull be-hind thing now. Less work on motor not hauling my azzz also. Take care.
@quinnmyster Friend All I can say is drop by &we'll talk. I'd be willing to sale or better yet trade on an old Gravely rider. Like my other videos show.
I saw one of these machines on e-bay go for BIG bucks. I listed mine and Not a single bid.
@quinnmyster Best of Luck. Who knows what you'll find in the weeds.I've seen a few of these units in the past. E-bay out of Mass. was the 1st, another was in Ky,listed locally. and Just recently I was watching that show "JunkYard Wars" They salvaged the engine from one for their Build project.
@aivilik Yes Sir.On a different yard / Home /, years ago it took me about 30 minutes with my ole Sears suburban lawn tractor. With this toy it took on average ten minutes.
I've since removed seat,handlebar,even the drive chain. Thinking I could make a pull be-hind mower.First time I used it after the conversion, Mowed the entire yard and would'nt you know. Old grass build up inside the engine shroud cought fire. The motor still runs but head gasket leaks. So now parked in the corner of shed.
i have one of these mower for sale all restored, new paint bushings bearings, chains...email me if your interested
