Hello everone reading this. Im currently in the process of building a race mower out of a front engine 8-32 toro. It was sitting outside for the longest time because of a broken axle. It believe it has a vertiical 8 hp b&s that had running. Here is some some photos of it.  I put a bifferent transaxle in because it was spare one laying around. I put it on and it fits pretty well. Altho i had to remove all the clutch and shifter parts to get it in, but hey it works. I got a wheel on and tried getting the other off the axle it was on. So i put it in the press and tried for about a half hour before in popped loose. After that it took me about 15 mins and got it off. It was really  rusted on there! Put it on the transaxle to how it fits and looks. Now im in the process of drilling a hole the axle for the key in the wheels. Any suggestions or ideas? I will update this project when do some more work on it.

      60" deck for Toro Wheel Horse 5xi series
      By Jrodgers04
      Selling a nice deck for the 5xi line. Starting it at $500 on FB Marketplace, open to offers.
       
      Model Number: 78395
       
      Good shape, ready to put to work. Does not include pulley box.
       
      Recently sold the tractor. Was going to make a coffee table out of it but the wife is not interested.
       
      Overall good operating condition. Cuts well, spindles, pulleys, rollers, and wheels are in good shape. Deck is solid, no rot. Very heavy duty, weighs over 300lbs. The only piece not functional is the install wheel. This does not affect the operation of the deck, just installation/removal.
       
      Located in Beverly, MA. Delivery available for right price.

      This is a beast!   Comes with the 60" deck and also a 48" deck and a new battery.  New belt (installed but unused), newer hoses, regular maintenance.   
       
      There are wheel weights too but idk if they fit this unit as I've never tried.

      I got a zero turn and a Kubota tractor and this has sadly become ignored.

      Broken axle
      By Travas
      Okay, no pictures because its at my grandpas farm. no clue what toro it is at all. it appears to be a 1986 11-32. The front is different than a 11-32 and it has no side panels like a 11-32. heres a picture of a 11-32 toro      it doesnt have the panels that say toro. the toro logo is on the front and above where panels would be. im just wondering if any body kwows about it because the rear left axle broke off right at the end of the transaxle inside the case. not sure if i can just take the case apart and put a different one in. its not a wheel horse/ toro.

      Can anyone identify where this goes?
      By Marco
      I was getting my riding mower ready for another season, changed the oil, filter, and I tilted the mower on it’s side to change the blades, just as I do year after year (my tractor is about 12 years old!) so once I was done and I got the mower back I found this piece laying on the ground. I have carefully examined the deck and I can’t seem to find where this would go. I tried checking the manual and a couple websites to see if I could identify the piece and no luck, anyone know where this goes? Thank you in advance!
