well I have a collection station for scrap metal and sorts and the general public here knows that they can drop of some things that are not too large like old tire rims and cans and such. Anyway we had a gentleman drop off an wizard Lawn/Garden tractor (Western Auto) seems strange but complete It looks Like a Massey but has a GIS (toro) model # any ideas of the lineage? I will post a pic this evening.

Definitely a Gilson tractor. Toro now owns the rights to Gilson, I think they acquired them when they purchased Lawn-Boy.
