Circa 1950's Jacobsen mower

[MilkThistle]

Hello everyone,

My Dad owns this mower that his Dad purchased around 1953.

He has the model number but there is little information that he can find, so I said to post a picture on a mower forum!

It is a 2 stroke engine - and a beast of a mower!

Well, here it is...



Any info will be helpful.

Thanks,

Eric

(from what I gather - this is indeed a very rare Jacobsen.)

Yes, here is the model number:

JR-320

Thanks.

Are you able to view my photo?

Pic showed up fine.
I cannot help on model number.
I have some J-321 2 cycle engines that are clearly later than what you have.
