Purchased new in the Chicago area by my father and then passed to me. Equipped with electric start, fenders, headlight package, underdrive transmission, 38” timed mower deck and wheel weights. Kohler 8HP engine replaced in 1980. All original IHC except for steering wheel and seat. Mower deck has finally died three weeks ago as I lost the top bearing shaft nut on one side and damaged the spindle assembly. (Deck has rusted thru in several places and possibly is salvageable with lots of work). Otherwise has run great for 61 years!

A wonderful example, of a historical piece. You are very fortunate to still have it. Take care, and be safe.
