Looks to be in great shape. That second digit might be a 2 instead of a Z. Using 1730-9296 on this site, it shows it to have been manufactured in 1957. There were optional reels that attached to either side of those making them more like a 60" or so and a pivoting sulky that made them almost zero turn. Jacobsen also offered a snow blade that replaced the front casters making it a snow pusher.

That's a cool mower. You know you're got with the real deal when you have to wind the starter rope by hand. :cool:

We'll go with 1957. It has a equipment inventory tag of #801 from the Carson Tahoe Hospital !

Plus, no reverse and those sulkies don't have brakes!
