Where did you get that? I've been looking for some info on this thing. Thanks for posting it! Have a great day!

It was from a brochure for sale on flea bay.

Neat chrome touches on the engine. The mag wheels on that gold one are definitely a blast from the 70s past.
Can't wait till it's finished... A lot of work though. Been sitting for at least twenty years... Have a great day!

Did you ever find out anything more about who made them? I found this on Smokstak while poking around. Evidently JC Pennys marketed them, and according to member Dick DeBuse, who has always got good information, they were made by General Appliance and called Bonanzas.

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out. Kind of figured it was JC Penny or Montgomery Ward.

That would make a cool racing mower, I think so anyways. Now I just might have to find me one of them.

I was thinking the same thing! Watched those races on TV. They're FAST! Think one has to be just a bit crazy to do it. I'm there! Have a great day!
