I bought this oldie, to restore. It actually runs. I drove it around the yard over the summer. I don't have the equipment to do the job right. Really should be sandblasted... [img]http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/uploaded/arjr111/I-11.jpg[/img]

Maynard, That kind of reminds me of an older version of a Swisher, except that one looks like it's rear wheel drive. I had an old Swisher 5HP about 15 years ago in Utah. It was front wheel drive, built like a tank and an absolute blast to drive. Very primitive though, the one I had didn't have ANY WAY of adjusting cutting height. Their 3-wheelers are still made, though they're better known for their trailing mowers. The 3-wheelers are great for flat lots, but I wouldn't try to use them on a slope at all...

I won't say they are ugly, but they are shy about showing their beauty. They just are not as classy looking as my AC 710, simp 700, or my MW gardenmark. John H (you can tell I don't kmnow much about beauty cause I got a 1948 Studebaker Truck)

I know what you mean, John. That Strunk tractor even has running boards....:o) Would make a really neat "show" tractor, though....

My eleven year old would love that little swisher mower. I had no idea anyone still made the three wheelers. Probably, made for the suburbs. Wonder if they actually sell many and what they go for..

The Swishers are about $1500, which isn't that bad when you consider what a new Murray or MTD goes for. They're heavy, tough suckers -- the deck is made out of 1/8" plate steel. With the front wheel drive, the steering wheel turns completely round and round, so they're actually more maneuverable than a ZTR. They're rear-discharge, so you can trim right up next to a tree on either side. Once you get the hang of it, you can easily mow around a 6" tree with no problems, for example... I had about a dozen fruit trees in the lawn, and my son acted like they were pylons on a test track or something.... He had a ball with it!
