    I haven't seen ones that old but have seen 3 wheeled mowers with a hydraulic front wheel.

    Those are cool looking mowers. I wonder if they have a smaller turning radius like a trike compared to a quad.

    Nice find! The name of those escape me at the moment. I have one of the very first zero turn mowers, and she's 3 wheeler. Met all my criteria for my collection. It's in the back of my mower shed right now, but I'll get a picture of it! Swisher ride king. Made a few model's, also goes by a big mow at the end of the generations. What did they want for those mowers dust runner?

    That's a pretty big engine for a little 3 wheeled mower. I have a little snapper style mower (aeris or something?) from the 80s and it's only got a 6hp Tecumseh motor in it. Might even have the same or slightly bigger deck.

    For the archives, after the link expires. Talk about tech challenged; I only have a land line phone, and I can barely operate that...

    90nut, is it the swisher that drives from a pulley on the top and has a front wheel drive chain? Saw one for sale saturday that looked identical but i couldn't get a name off of it and he didn't know...kept telling people it would run, but would never fire it up and still wanted $800 for it so i passed.

    Yep that's it! Swisher ride king. Newer model was called a big mow. Depending what way the wheel is pointing you have forward or reverse. Neat little machine, I've got others, just not
