The owner of the gold course told me that the cutting reels were worn out and that replacing them would have cost the price of a good used mower of later vintage and less hours, might be a good idea fro some of you guys to go and check out that your local course has sitting in the back 40 as unused and unwanted equipment.
The smaller three wheel Toro came as 3 or 2 wheel drive with either the Isuzu or Perkins diesel engine rated at 18 hp. the larger mower came as a reel or front mounted mower and came with the Mitsubishi diesel engine HP at this time unknown by me. Still researching the specs on that engine.
It would appear that the Mitsubishi engine had been replaced at one time, this engine is super clean, starts and runs really good.
There's money to be made in selling the engines.
