First the sickel bar now another  mower........ wonder if she will ever go away again ?

 

 My number 5 daughter returned home a few months ago and was willing to mow but the "big" Horses intimidated her a little.... so.... after picking up yesterdays Sickel Mower I went and got a Wheel Horse cousin.... A Toro 10-32 that has a Wheel Horse Decal up front, maybe they sold em that way in 1989.  Appears to be very well kept and after airing the tires, swapping a battery in, and jumping the ignition she fired right up.... Not anything like my other Wheel Horses but pretty nice little mower..... I was surprised that the turning radius was larger than my C-100..... but for 200.00 a keeper and maybe my new tenant will cut the grass !!!!!!

After Toro bought Wheel Horse they began running both names.  If it has been well maintained it will cut a lot of grass.        :handgestures-thumbupright:

Oldcpecdr      I had a Toro 8/32 professional rear engine like that best darn mower I have ever had made real well. The box tilted up for easy emptying.Tranny went on it could not find one so it had to go.:no:IMG_0710.JPG.7cb322419f7318841396fe82c8562663.JPGIMG_0706.JPG.27b75515dfbca50a1f49517eba358ed9.JPG

Feels like it has been well maintained, I did half the lawn yesterday but because of the bigger turn radius had to modify my usual route...that was a head scratcher..it's so little it ought to turn sharp !!!!  But looks like it will be useful as a mower especially if my daughter adopts the mowing chores on the flat parts of our hilly homestead.

 

The 10.5 Briggs is a LOT quieter than the Kohlers.

On another note I ordered an ignition switch yesterday  (Saturday at 330 PM) to replace the one I "borrowed " from my C-80 to get the Toro running.    THEY ARE DELIVERING IT TODAY!!!! Less than 24 hours later and on a Sunday.... that is just amazing.
