| I had the same tractor as dangerous toys, a 5hp toro. Mowed with it, and made money with it. Did a pulley swap, but could still mow in first gear. Put on a 8hp engine, and pulley swapped the deck, it would throw grass 30 feet. Put a solid rear axle in it. This was all when I was around 14 or 15. It's been gone for years. Did a lot of off roading with it. Top speed was maybe 18mph? | |

| Stretch44875: i nearly bot this one 70's toro off a guy with a tractor junkyard where i used to buy parts from - said it looked just like mine, cept he put a 18HP twin on it and it still had the deck on it and mowed - i was REAL close to getting it - couldnt swing the $350 he wanted for it tho at the time.
Bet that thing ran super fast, in the guys spare time he built and raced lawntractors.
I got mine with broken steering gears as well - i bot parts off a junked toro from that tractor junkyard guy to get it to steer right - i figure if it ever breaks again, ill do a direct steering on it. | |
