K series Kohler rotary? riding mower

[Stan50 199]

Hi guys, I found on local Marketplace very interesting mower, probably made in USA,with K Kohler engine (unknown HP). 3 rotary pieces are ~86" wide,4 speed manual trans. Just curious what it is, owner can not tell much about that machine...just in working order.

Very interesting but not at all familiar. 

 

Homemade? 

Professional commercial?

Looks like a jacobson crashed into a parts bin.

Engine looks like a big-block 10 or 12 ho Kholer, but it's installed backwards.

Looks like a National golf course mower that raided a mower salvage yard!

Looks like homemade tractor then? Many of them around here (more on the compact size), even 4x4,diy with heavy truck parts and diesel engines, good for around home chores. Old Kohlers are rare.

Over the years TORO made some odd looking reel riding mowers for golf courses, that would be my guess.
