I hope it's ok to list e bay auctions here but I thought this community might be interested.

I'm selling a very rare vintage Toro "Park Special" reel lawn mower. The Park Special was manufactured by the Toro Manufacturing Corp., Minneapolis, Minnesota during the 1940s.

The interesting thing for this community is that it includes a small engine that was manufacturered by Toro itself - it's not a Briggs and Stratton.

If you are interested the e bay auction is here:

There are two tags, one on the engine and the other on the back of the mower. Both of them read:

Toro Manufacturing Corporation
Mower Number: 5032
Engine Number: 03168

Most of the parts look original although I cannot 100% confirm that. The mower is in good condition in as far as the gear are all moving. The orginal hand crank to start the engine is included. However the engine has not been started in around 20 years. This is a restoration or rehab project.

The mower is located in McHenry, Illinois 60050. Local pickup only.
Will not ship
