Gas tank on ebay

Does not look like any of the 60's Landlords, 60's Broadmoors, or B112's.  They were all more square without the rounded sides.

I could not say for the 725 or earlier, just 64 and up on the Landlords.

Back in the late 60's, we had Jacobson walk-behind reel mowers. They were orange and had oval shape gas tanks, and I would bet that this tank is from one of those Jacobsons, there were a couple different styles. Those big old beasts gave the absolute greatest cut!

My Grandpa had given me one of these to play with, as it didn't run very well at the time, and the reels needed sharpening.  I think he was going to launch it, but didn't because I showed interest in it.  My first foray into engines and mechanical stuff.  I got it running, took a moving cart and made a Selkey and drove it around.  Thing was a tank!  As I recall, it was a two stroke, and I remember the fuel tank, and it was a round one like shown, and I believe it had the glass bowl for the filter.   Nearly 50 years ago, thanks for the memories.  Ouch.
