1963 Toro Professional 76"

This is my 1963 Toro Professional 76" that I restored in 2012. I use it to cut the grass each week.

Nice machine, how did it cut after all that time..?

The machine cuts great. The reels were all sharpened by the former owner before I bought it. I have an extra set of each of the three reels that are also sharp. I lap them in every so often to keep them sharp.

That's a nice toro. If I remember right they used them to mow the tees and sometimes the fairways.

(( cowboy up and get over it ))

I used one of those back in 1970 at the Cemetery. Had to lift the outboard reels to clear head stones. We all had great looking upper arms!
I see another one in the garage. Good job.

I ran one of these in the 70's for a lawn care company. We cut grass on large estates in southeastern Connecticut. They do a great job and use much less fuel than a rotary.
