Looks like the rears are for turning and hauling only.

Love the Toro in the front but how about a full pic of the one in the back?

That's Trac Horse. Go to Chris's profile, Topics and you'll find Trac Horses in Action. I think there's a build thread on My Old Machine.

Since I bought this one I've bought 2 more from the same stable. My friend bought 3 new from a Toro dealer in 1978, used 2 for contract mowing and kept one stored for spares.

I have sold the one in the photos and now have the new one and the other as spares, The new one had never been assembled and had 0000 hours on the clock.

I dig out some photos of them and post them here

Thanks Chris! Can’t imagine having a brand new one. It would be like having a 3D rolling service/assembly manual
